why do so many men take like acts of kindness as like romantic intent? especially if it's like me being nice to them because it's my job?

In my experience I’ve mistaken romantic intent for acts of kindness in the past just because I didn’t want to assume anything at the time.

People are rarely kind to us unless it’s romantic interest or they want something from us. This past year I think someone has been kind to me like twice(that wasn’t a family member)

I was kind to this one guy in my speech class and also gave him a hug because he was emotional after one of his speeches. But I wasn’t the only one that hugged him. Later on in the semester he asked if I wanted to date him and I told him that I have a boyfriend 😭 (which is true) but I genuinely thought I was just making a friend in the class

Sometimes I get hard when my waitress asks me what I’d like to drink

Most of the time at ones work probably would make it obvious, though I imagine a lot of a thought process similar to, “Even though she’s could just be acting this cause of her job, but what if she actually does have feelings towards me”, and then take the risk anyway of asking them.
