nerdy men don't respond to their flirting

It's hardly flirting if it's body language from across the room and neither party has said a word to each other. At that point, you're not even sure they know you exist - and how could they be sure that you are aware of their existence? No, you have to talk to them - at least be in the same conversation as them! - to begin flirting with body language.

Nope. Not sure what to tell you if you're not already aware this isn't so.

Maybe a study documenting it?

There are not such things as suggestive glances, eye-locking, inviting postures, etc.?
