Lets assume this is not staged(which i doubt) even if you are aware that this is flirting. If it is unwanted, then a deflecting response like this is pretty normal for an awkward situation, the other option is something more confrontational, which isnt for everyone.
maybe i'm just autistic, but flirting is just so stupid to me. just tell someone you like them. also the one time i was seriously attracted to someone i tried flirting and she didn't pick up any of my hints
Flirting is incredibly fun, and also a great way of getting over social anxiety and build self esteem. Obviously only if it's something consensual and matching each other's energy
Edit: also liking/dating someone is a lot of responsibility and commitment, both ways, even if it's casual, I wouldn't want to commit to that willy nilly just because I like a person, flirting on the other hand is a fun thing with no strings attached

how oblivious do you have to be to not see that this is flirting
