In middle school and high school, I wouldn't flirt at all. Actually, it was surreal everytime guys socialized with me out of nowhere, especially since they were at least moderately "popular."
But if I said I liked them (and they were bubbly only towards me) they said they didn't like me. Why would they be so flirty towards me then?
Ex. one of them always would pretend to take my backpack. Another one said that I'd lead the team during a track run and pointed at my face inches away right in front of the whole time (mind you, I'm kind of disliked by the girls despite almost never talking to them or anyone for that matter) and it made me blush - he also greeted me a few times in front of his group of friends (including less generically popular but, rather, the business-woman type girls who ended up dislking me as well)
Yeah, I am a sucker if you catch me off gaurd if you do something that makes me blush because I'm very timid - I'm pretty shy - but I still don't get why guys do this. I'm not exacty cute or anything or weak. I'm awkward and bad at conversation and asked reddit before.
I dress modestly and never lead guys on - mostly because I rarely talk with them. (or anyone) I don't even like to let my hair down. In fact, people ask me if I died or cut my hair when I do because I let it down so rarely. (hair let down makes you look prettier)
Quite a few guys do ignore though if, for ex., I ask what the date is, but I've also been called "hot" by other "popular" boys without them knowing I knew what they said.
Here is a picture of me - I'm not just looking for attention in asking this - I just really don't understand guys:

While I'm at it, Im curious: do you think I'm attractive? If so, what kind? Why?
And what kind of clothes do you think I wear? Do you think I wear makeup? And what do you think my personality is like based on this question and my face?
