They are trying to get your attention. Nothing any more insidious than that. It isn't met to turn anyone on... it's meant to be a method of attracting your attention when they have no other way of doing so. If they do not know you, and they get your attention, they may create an 'opening' to engage. Extremely common in the young - the pre-singles bar method of trying to date a pretty girl.
It's a backwards complement of sorts. Immature, really. Teenage boys aren't the most suave or classy creatures what with all those hormones...
Well its meant to be the first stage of "Courtship". But seems to be used for:-
1). Game Female v Male. ( rejection for male side if wrong signal )
2). Attention for Dating.
These days. Or maybe giving the wrong signal = 1.
Edit: "or maybe it's just people who want someone double they age or high criteria or not interested in other sex"
