      The sentence is a strong indication that the complimenting person wants to do some small talk.
      And is starting with a personal remark commenting on one’s appearance.

      I am a rather introvert person with some additional slight social anxiety issues.
      Wouldn’t directly interpret it as “danger”, but would definitely get uncomfortable and depending on how good I know the person also anxious.
