Ha, no.
Some guys take this as a challenge. They want to be the 'dick [penis] that fixes you' and makes you straight.

If you are a non-overweight female who is also nice, any normal guy will be thinking "Potential Sex!"
It means nothing really, you are not that special, within 3 seconds of your shutdown, his attention moves on to the next non-overweight / nice female.

I started a new job and there is a guy who is more extroverted than myself who I tend to talk to often, mostly because he talks a lot. I am an introvert and I definitely have easier conversations with extroverts since they keep the conversation going so to speak. Also, he seems to talking about many things that I enjoy like sports and many of the women on my team aren't into that. Anyway, a female coworker asked if I liked this guy and I was shocked! She said you're so nice to him and you two talk a lot. I mentioned that I'm just making conversation and we literally sit next to one another, so of course we talk a lot. Plus I am a nice person without any ulterior motives. There is no reason for me not to be. This literally happens with many guys who I connect with in a professional situation. In my last job, a coworker thought I was flirting with a (married) guy because I said that he looks nice with glasses(I wear them as well)! I don't understand. I feel like I should avoid men altogether.

I am very extroverted and talk to everyone and have had this problem again and again. If someone wants to flatter themselves that I have a crush on them, it doesnt bother me. Usually they see that that's my MO with everyone, and any ego boost they may have gotten goes away fast. It's just a part of life when you're nice or friendly to men- it's wishful thinking on their part.
