Here me out: Virgin Peeta
I know the fandom have a preference to headcanon Peeta as someone popular with girls cause he is canonically so nice and had a lot of friends. But I imagine him being so inexperienced as Katniss.
Kisses
I dare to say Katniss was Peeta first kiss too. I know some people will point out that there is evidence to deny this. But lets consider Katniss never was very clinical in describe their kissed (what make sense, since the sexual tension is a subtle element in the books). But we can't deduce their second kiss on cave was guide for Peeta, proving he's done this before. It is the kiss that made she want more, but this can be just her sexual awaking.
And let's remember Peeta didn't consider Katniss never kiss before. Even in the second book, after all those kisses, he asked if she kissed Gale only once. So, the kisses aren't good because the kisser's ability, they are good cause their are from the beloved one.
Katniss liked Peeta's kisses because she liked Peeta.
Charming and flirting
Right, Katniss never say it out to us neither to herself how attractive Peeta is to her. And judging other people perception about Peeta, he is probably a guy with an ordinary appearance (while Katniss, indeed, always was an attractive person, if she was so alike Gale, of course she was pretty).
So I think our perception about Peeta advances are filter by Katniss interesting on him. In fact, Peeta can be an inexperienced boy imitating the way his brothers and friends flirted. Maybe, for other people, Peeta approach would sound awkward, but for Katniss, everything fit perfectly.
Conclusion
I do think Peeta is charming, funny and attractive for real, but for me he kinda fit the role of a guy friend. Someone girls enjoy the company but prefer him just as a friend cause for them Peeta didn't have the physical appeal or just isn't their type (while for Katniss is literally perfect)
