Are inside jokes a way of flirting?

[Anonymous]

When a guy starts making up inside jokes with you is this just him being a friend or does it mean he likes you?

Wouldn't count on that. Me and my last crush had a huge amounts of inside jokes, everyone kept asking what we were on about when we would do the nodding and eyebrows etc. Along with my flirting, she never took a liking to me and we rarely talk now and I get sad when our jokes come up and I don't have that anymore.

Sort of. My previous crush and I always talked with song names when we wanted to express something openly, but in discreet, such as our feelings, without the knowledge of others.

When Joey is inside my girlfriend, he makes really nasty inside jokes.

Sort of? Are they flirtatious or platonic

[Asker]

Kinda both? I don’t know

I like them, because they are intimate, that being they are between you and one other person. He does want you to feel special.
