No, making unwanted complements on physical appearance is considered harassment. Knowing how to politely comment on someone's appearance is a learnable skill. (granted there's an assumption that certain kinds of comments on physical appearance are presumed unwanted, but I think that's reasonable.)

That's not correct. It is in fact just any comments. It's strange but true. I know because I just finished a D&I training recently.

That could be true in your jurisdiction. In general it isn't.[1]

Let's agree that anyone who is concerned about workplace sexual harassment should do their own research and not rely on an internet forum for legal advice!
The OP absolutely did the right thing. Romantic fraternization should not be initiated in the workplace.
