Crush touching my back and shoulders?

[Anonymous]

my crush who is also my friend does this from time to time, either lightly squeezing my shoulders as he walks by or comes up from behind me or just the other day as I passed him he lightly put his hand on my back. Flirting or something else?

Instead of wishful thinking I want an 3rd part opinion on why he's doing this.

Flirting. Definitely flirting. Next time put your hand on his and smile at him when he touches you. He's waiting for your signal.

flirting, but in a friendly way, to not make you uncomfortable.
