In general. No. Only desperate people without a properly functioning brain thinks it is. Indian, Egyptian, Iranian or of similar countries or even for that matter Mediterranean. Touch has more meaning than flirting, particularly to tactile cultures. It is not uncommon for a touch on the arm, shoulder, hug, etc. Means absolutely nothing except they consider you a friend or an assoicate at best. Repeated or sexually charged touching is different.

It can be, but some people just do it naturally as a form of communication, not necessarily romantic. But if you feel it is meant in a more intimate way, you're most probably right. It all depends on the circumstances and your gut feeling.

Depends upon 'what' and 'where' and 'how' you're touching... physical touching IS 'communication' at the root instinctive level. Its 'candid', immediate and direct... the physical equivalent of 'whispering'. ;)

Yes if shoulder affection. If stomach area then usually sex or the like.

Of course touching is the quintestial act of flirting. They are either into those quick hugs and high fives or they are not.

It can be. Depends on the touch. Some people.. mostly girls but maybe some guys too.. are just touchy people. I have a friend like this, she touches everyone it seems flirty but that's not how she means it. Then again some touches are definitely flirting. When I met my ex we were dancing together and he was touching me while we danced, on my arm, around my waist and he even brushed against my breast a few times with his hand. He was def flirting and I knew it!!

yes. there was a time a married man kept touching me. random unnecessary taps on arm, intentional touching hands when he hands me things. its his way of flirting

there is always a different from a touch to another... but its most common to be a flirtatious touch when a guy does it to a women

Girls would call it flirting Guys would call it foreplay

It sure is. It's also a really good way to escalate things fast.

It can be, but it depends on the situation

Repeated? Yes. One time can mean nothing.

  It can have a creepy factor. It is a vibe snd in the moment correctly thing. Interest is communicated for sure. There is no definition on it though.

  Obviously you've never known anyone who is Indian, Egyptian, Iranian or of similar countries or even for that matter Mediterranean. Touch has more meaning than flirting, particularly to tactile cultures.
