I am not flirty at all. I may say some sexual things but that is more because I enjoy the witticism of sexual innuendos but not because I am flirty.
I do compliment men (and women) and I do physically touch men (and women). That may probably be misconstrued as flirty though my partners have never complained and the people I do it with have never complained, with one exception.
My best friend's assistant would come over a lot for my friend's parties and we have become close. She is the only person that asked me why I smacked her butt. lol! I did not realize I did that until she said it. I just told her it was because I think she has a cute butt but I have stopped smacking it since I know it bothers her. lol!
I guess I smack butts but I do not mean anything by it. :) Maybe the difference between flirty and friendly is intention?

I think that would be friendly, unless you did it in a flirty way. For example, if I told a guy "You're really smart," it's friendly. If I said "Ooooh, you're so smart, that's sexy" it would be flirty. It's really only flirty if you make it flirty. I compliment guys all the time, it doesn't mean I'm into them, it just means I like their shirt or whatever.
What you have mentioned above is just being friendly and nice, and not being flirtatious. I am like that too :-)
Relationship experts say that women underestimate interest and men overestimate it. If you’re asking the question, “Is he flirting with me?”, the answer is probably “Yes”. Haha!
It really depends on the person. You need to get to know a person and learn to recognize their habits and behavior in order to differentiate the two.
I feel as though it ought to be treated as friendly, though I've known plenty of people who considered me a flirt both for being better able to hold conversations with girls than with guys, and for giving frequent compliments. I try to be kind and to help do what I can to brighten up people's days. I suppose in our culture that's seen as flirting. To some extent I could see how that would make sense with the common mindset that people do nice things for the sake of getting something in return.
A guy compliments a girl? He wants sex and is flirting to get it. Rather than, A guy compliments a girl? He wants to be her friend. People just don't think that way any more.
That is friendly. When it becomes sexual, that's flirting.

It depends on what is said specifically. I'll give an example
Girl: I just finished a long jog and need to get home to freshen up."
Guy: Alright, let me know when you're done
Girl: Oh no! I just spilt some water on my top
Guy: I guess you're going to have to take your top off in front of everyone 😏.
That's an obvious example of flirting. It's awkward lol, but yo get it. Flirting usually is met with certain expressions/emojis and a different direction from friendly. I can usually tell when someone is being flirty towards me. It's not always evident, but you'll feel it. Certain topics will always be flirty. Topics like sex for example.If it's not reciprocated after 2-3 times then it's rude at least...
There's quite a fine line between, flirting, saying "no" nicely by not reciprocating the enthusiasm, and awkwardness.. Just to be extra sure that you might miss out on a great hook up!! :~)I do think giving compliments is a form of flirting but i think, if your partner isn't the jealous type, its generally a good thing to do it when you meet other people even if your not sexual attacted to them. Its a good way to win friends and influence people reguardless of your sexual interests and that always makes life easier.
I think everybody is different for me we're hanging out having fun laughing joking I'm just being friendly try to make the other person feel good or laugh flirting I think for me is if I was to look into your eyes and so you're absolutely beautiful if I was to grab your hand and touch it slow and soft and say come with me you can feel it in my touch my voice and my eyes I think when people flirt they kind of put out an energy or an aura
It depends, if you carry on it probably becomes flirting. Just one compliment doens't need to be flirting.
But if you compliment the same person, for example at work, three times a week it's probably flirting as well!It can be flirting, especially if there is a little attraction.
I even think it is hotter when a man and a woman who are attracted to each other are being polite and friendly to each other, rather than using a sexual innuendo. .Friendly:
"Haha, you're pretty funny, and you look like a ladies man"
Flirty:
"Haha, you funny as hell, and you gotdamn sexy too"..It's hard to tell where being friendly ends and flirting begins. I'm a very friendly and outgoing person and a lot of guys have interpreted that as flirting.
These compliments are friendly if they are once a while but if these are regular or if you are just complimenting one person and never complimenting others then it indicates an inclination towards that person, which is flirting !!
there is no universe in which girls can call a guy "cute" and not expect the guy to think you wanna marry him
but compliments is not really flirtingSome people will take it as flirting and others will take it as being friendly. I'm extremely dense so I would take it as you just being friendly and trying to be nice.
can't tell. might not wanna say something sexual to creep you out
Flirting is what makes people friendly. If you can make someone laugh or smile that is flirting. If you can rub skin to skin that is flirting. If you can get them to talk about sexy personal things, you must've did some flirting
If a girl tells me I'm funny or cute, I get instant feelings. That's like an instant "she likes me" thought trigger for me 😂
Anything can be flirty or friendly. It's not what you say it's how you say it.
Okay. I know nothing about flirting but here goes.
Friendly; hey. What are you having for dinner tonight?
Flirting: let me take you out for dinner.Thats just being friendly. Flirting is continously being excessively kind and constantly pointing out good things (personality, beautiful, great body etc) about the other person.
It depends on the way you convey it. Your body language also count. Let's you said someone you are cute and smile in general way that's a compliment but if you maintain an intense eye contact and flirty smile
No triggers for flirting all around friendly response from me towards the opposite sex.
I think a
Lot if it depends on perception, it can be perceived either way, you can intend it one way & it will be received totally different than you intended.
