Is it flirting if a guy says you look way younger than ur age?

my cute coworker and i were chatting I'm new at this job and he asked if i grew up in the area/live there and then he started asking if I knew certain people cus we attended the same high school and I said no and then I asked what year he graduated and then I told him when I did and we realized I'm 6 years older and he was like there's no way you're 28, you look 23 at the oldest was this flirting like implying I look good or just observation

Hmm, it's possible he could have been flirting, but it's hard to say for sure. Here are a few thoughts:

- Guys don't usually comment on a woman's age unless they're interested, so that's a potential sign he might be flirting.

- Saying you look younger than you are is generally meant as a compliment - it implies you look good for your age.

- The fact that he was surprised and thinks you look way younger could be his subtle way of calling you attractive.

- Some guys will pay little compliments like that when they're feeling out if a woman might be receptive to flirting.

However, it's also possible he was just making an innocent observation since you revealed your real age. How did he say it - was he smiling or did his tone seem flirty at all?

If you're interested, you could always find an excuse to chat with him more and see if he amps up the flirty behavior. Or just play it cool for now. Either way, take it as a nice little ego boost! Guys don't usually lie to make a woman seem younger unless they like what they see.

I'd say it kinda is, but its also often used in small talk
