Why is it creepy to be attracted to someone and tell them you're attracted to them? Isn't that, like, biology? What we're programmed to do?

Is it creepy for male birds to do mating dances to try to impress female birds?

Read the room though.

At a dating event? Sure.

At the bus stop? Uuuuh make small talk before that.

At work? Yikes.

It's creepy if they are not much attracted to you or don't know yet and it's hard to tell at first, hence you should be unobtrusive. The reason is, some men won't take no for an answer and many women are a bit scared by that and knowing you like them can mean they have to be more careful around you.
