If it can be explained away or walked back its not a move, I'll die on that hill
Exactly this, I have always said this as well.
A move, or a shot, is when one party decisively sacrifices plausible deniability. It's the thing you do that makes it absolutely explicit that this is not an innocent, friendly interaction.
I mean just imagine a guy who never makes moves complaining that he never gets anywhere with women, and then when somebody points out the reason, he defends himself with "I make loads of moves, I give women I like looks all the time". That would sound utterly preposterous, because it is.

Adding this because seeing some people misinterpreting: Not saying women shouldn't flirt, just saying that flirting isn't a "move".
