I’m never a fan of “don’t”-oriented guides to social interaction. In my experience, the reason people do things that are taken as creepy is that they don’t know a better way—if they did, wouldn’t they do that and thus avoid alienating everyone in the first place?
Making things awkward or uncomfortable for others doesn’t incur in them a debt to help you self-optimize and get what you want. You might want to take the advice in the spirit it’s given instead.
