Rey wasn't exactly in a better position to know how people did these sorts of things, or even what this sort of thing was. They weren't flirting - or, at least, if they were then she'd had the completely wrong idea of what flirting was - and they weren't fighting, and they weren't-....
Well, it was probably easier to keep a running list of what they weren't doing versus what they were.
When he took off without completing his thought, Rey was so startled that all she could do was follow after him, looking him over carefully. She hadn't managed to ostracize him, so that was good, but they weren't actually coming any closer to getting anything said or done, so it didn't quite feel like they were exactly breaking even either.
"Possibly because you seem to have trouble finishing a sentence or maintaining eye contact when someone is talking to you." Though she was mostly joking, Rey was also being at least somewhat serious. It would be nice if she didn't have to guess at how to complete his sentences and figure out what he was talking about.
In a quieter voice, she mentioned, "Honestly, though, I was sort of wondering about that. Leia had found Han. I know the Jedi aren't known for having families of their own, but given how unconventional your story had been, didn't you ever... want... that? Or was there someone and she's just... not here anymore?"
Rey didn't think she was being brutally insensitive, but then, she admittedly didn't know about the best way to approach this sort of conversation.
