Girls, Is this her way of flirting or is she just an a*s hole?

[Anonymous]

I really like my friend she is so pretty and fun to be around and she is a tomboy so she does all the things I like to do except she does this thing where she sack taps (she flicks the back of her hand or fist into my nuts suddenly) me in public to embarrass me. She does it while I'm ordering food or in front of my mom and sister or even in front of our teacher. Is this some way of flirting or is she just an a*s hole and hurting me like that to embarrass me? And how can I get her to stop doing it?

I know that when I am interested in a girl I just rear back my foot and give her a good ol' c*nt kick. Gets them everytime.

... you do realize how silly that sounds, right? Lmao

She shouldn't be hitting you. Tell her to stop by just saying "stop"

I know it sounds silly but she does it and then giggles at me while I'm trying to pretend that it doesn't hurt but its obvious it does, I thought she might just not feel like it's as bad as it because she can't understand how painful it is. Like I said she is a tomboy and she jumps on my back and play chokes me and everything so I think she is just rough but doesn't realise how much it hurts when she does that because it seems like it shouldn't but it does. I kind of told her I would prefer she didn't do that but I don't want her to think I'm weak if I outright tell her to stop

I had a girlfriend who was kind of aggressive like that. She would kick my male friends in the shins with her steel toes. She took it too far the day she thought she was playing playful and threw a brick at my head.

Some are just terrible at reading social queues. You aren't weak for wanting her to stop. If you let her continue it is where she takes your power from you

Omg that horrible girl.. ok maybe she isn't flirting she probably just doesn't realize how painful and embarrassing it is when she hits them and I'm trying to talk to order pizza or talk to our teacher after class.
I still have a crush on her and I don't want her to stop doing playful things with me because we do bond over messing around like that but I somehow need to set the boundary of her not hitting my nuts just because she doesn't understand how bad it really hurts
Thank you for your answer!

Sounds like she’s kind of an asshole who likes to embarrass you

[Asker]

I think so to now... she told me to see if I could balance her ruler on my nose and when I tried it she punched me in my balls and I dropped to the floor and cried in front of both her and MY moms.. I dont want to hang out with her anymore now

I don’t blame you

I guess it could be both?
It does sound like she probably doesn't realise how hard it hurts but some girls do tease to flirt so wouldn't rule it out. Hope everything is working ok down there, sounds ruff
