No, there is whole lot of difference between genuinely complimenting someone and flirting with them.
Flirting and complimenting are not at all same. Most people misinterpret complimenting as flirting which is not true.
Well, to answer your question. No, if someone compliments me then I won't assume that they are flirting with me. However, it's true I don't appreciate compliments, I dislike compliments but if a woman does compliment me on my looks then I will just hear it, not say anything.
I won't assume that the woman is flirting with me.
My boss told me my new hairstyle was different and she noticed, and said she liked it, really looked good, while at the same time seemed giddy and blushing, and This doesn't help matters though we're both married that she told me something like that! The woman almost never speaks to me neither. She has no idea I'm more than just a ordinary joe already digging on her. Stay focused I say on my fam.
I told this guy he looks good after I gave him a hug in a very casual way. Didn't see it as flirting at the time; I just thought it was a nice thing to say since I really thought he looked good. He's not someone I would date though. He's told me in the past I look good so I felt more comfortable telling him that.
It depends. Compliments can be friendly or flirtatious, depending on who they're coming from and how that person intends it.

In my experience it usually is, although if it comes from someone I deem to not possibly be interested in me as a boyfriend, I assume it isn't flirting.
Rarely get them, and when I do, it's usually from a family member, friend or co-worker so I don't think much of it. Depends who's giving it to me. If it was a random woman, I might question it depending on the circumstances. But us guys in general don't get many compliments ever.
Depends on where for me. I have associated the highest probability of successfully dating girls who compliment things like chest and arms while wanting to touch these parts. Face isn't quite as much of a guarantee.
I don't know. Some anonymous guy on here (who was asking girls how many centimeters of dick they can fit it their pussy) just called me a pervert for saying a certain 50 year old woman was pretty.
Hell no, that is just like saying the weather is nice. It can be expected and is not surprising when it occurs.
Nope. I would know if someone was tryna flirt when they compliment me cos most of the time it's usually exaggerated
No, I don't think so. Most of the time it's a compliment.
Also, it's how he will say it that can make it flirtatious as opposed to just a simple compliment.
Well, a lot has to do with who is saying it. When it's a friend or coworker, it's almost always not flirting.
Also, a lot of it has to do with the delivery. A polite smile=not flirting
A flirty smile, an admiring gaze=flirting.
Depends on who says it and how it's said. If a friend of me gives me a compliment, it's because of we're friends and wants to be nice. If that person is a potential date and have shown some signs of being attracted to me, it's probably flirting.
It's always a compliment. Sometimes it could be more flirtatious though.
No. But I would know if someone is using a compliment as a way to flirt.
nah kid. its just life. my life. click clack the mack is back
There are too many variables to consider. Safe bet is not to compliment the opposite sex, when in a relationship. It's not only what you're thinking. Its what the person recieving it thinks & conveys it, which you have no power over. And your s/o feeling/thoughts. Not too mention men take a compliment differently from a woman than a man, thought process is different. And vice versa. Don't turn the knob if you dont want to open the door.
It depends on the situation?
If its friends then they are being polite and nice.
If its a random guy in public then it seems flirtatious.
It depends if a girl tells me you look good out of nowhere it is a flirt, if it was in the usual context of i ever had a girlfriend then it is just being polite
And if the girl is saying it repeatedly it is flirting.
Sometimes it can be, depends on familiarity i'd say
It could be, but in some cases, it's just a polite thing.
If you give someone a compliment on there appearance it's just being polite. But then if you continue to compliment them it turns into flirting.
Not usually. Depends on body language and how it’s presented but usually I take it as just being nice
I think it’s being polite if I said you look good. Now if I said it more along he lines of wow you are sexy I think that’s more flirting.
