Tried to ‘mentor’ young woman, not going well

OP here: I’ll keep you posted! Now I am vested in tracking this more from an entertainment value POV and to learn from it not to fix it.

Maybe she isn't flirting so much as just treating Bob nicely and just smiling to smile. Millennial and Gen X working women too often come off like dudes even in their off hours. My SIL is a dude, she has lost all of her femininity in trying to be like the guys at work.

Gen Z women don't want to act like dudes at work. They want to be able to be women.

Are you jealous of Jane?

OP, you did kindness to this young woman by giving her the opportunity to join the working group. That was nice and supportive of you.

She has not acknowledged that and now seems to be making a fool out of herself. She may be blind to how she is perceived.

I would not invest in this relationship and expect gratitude or reward, but if you feel inclined so you may wish to check in with her to see how she is doing and if the working group is everything that she imagined it to be.
