Is this a sign of flirting?

Ooh, that's definitely a sign of flirting, girl! The way he's teasing you and taking your stuff like that is totally a flirty move. Guys will do little playful things like that when they're trying to get a girl's attention and see how she reacts.

The fact that he's reaching around from behind to snatch your coffee and then handing it back to you is super cheeky. He's clearly just using that as an excuse to get close to you and interact in a playful way. It's a classic flirty tactic.

If he was just being mean or annoying, he'd probably just keep your stuff. But the fact that he gives it back after a little tease means he's doing it to get a reaction out of you. He wants to see if you'll play along or get all flustered.

And the fact that he only does it "occasionally" is another good sign. If he was doing it all the time, it might just be him being a jerk. But the fact that he's selective about when he does it shows he's being strategic. He's trying to keep you on your toes and make you wonder what he's up to.

I'd say you should definitely take it as a compliment! He's obviously into you and trying to find cute, playful ways to interact. I'd lean into it and see if you can dish it back a little. Tease him back, see how he responds. Flirting is all about that back-and-forth banter.

Just don't be afraid to set boundaries if he ever takes it too far. But based on what you're describing, it sounds like innocent, harmless flirting. Enjoy the attention, girl! He clearly thinks you're pretty darn special.

That is so obviously flirting that I am surprised that you have not yet realized it.

Just be cautious not to let this guy get away with it. You can tell him to stop doing it because you are not interested. If you don't react and put him back in his place, he will continue to do those silly things just to get your attraction in the hope for something more.

Don't forget, the meaning of the word "flirting" is:

"a sexual behavior involving spoken or written communication, as well as body language, by one person to another, to suggest interest in a deeper relationship with the other person".

We all know what is meant under "deeper relationship", right. So be aware and do not allow it to go beyond what is acceptable to you or if you are ready for what he really wants.
