I would rather be flirted with. Sometimes flirting and teasing are almost the same thing. But more often teasing is when the guy is being an arse and doesn't intend to pursue you, whether it be sexually or romantically or both. I mean sometimes with flirting the guy isn't actually pursuing it, but he isn't doing it just to "mess with you" and is more genuine.
Here's an example:
A can tease a girl, and jokingly mock her. It can be kind of flirtatious, maybe even out of attraction, but he is probably doing it because he gets a kick out of seeing her react and get worked up. Maybe he thinks it's cute, maybe it feeds on his ego, etc etc. Or sometimes it is also a thing guys do when they are being immature.
A guy can flirt with a girl by complimenting her, smiling at her, making a lot of eye contact, teasing her in a sweet way whereas teasing is a lot more mocking and can even be borderline insulting if the girl takes it the wrong way. When there is flirtatious joking there is no sense of insult or mockery. And flirting may not be joking but just smiling, compliments, eye contact, paying a lot of attention to the person. It is done out of attraction (or to give off the impression of attraction, maybe to make a sale, or if someone is being an arse by leading another person on), but when it is not "fake flirting" it is done out of attraction and a desire to flatter the other person and make him/her feel good. Even though flirting is done out of attraction, things may not always progress past there. Sometimes people will flirt but it won't go past that for certain reasons even if there is an attraction. Maybe one or both of the people are already in relationships, or don't want to actually date the person for whatever other reason, but still find him/her attractive so they just flirt and don't intend to take it past there.
Sometimes older men will flirt with much younger women, even if they are married, or even if they aren't they still wouldn't date the woman because she's not the right age, but if they think she is really attractive they will still flirt with her, because flirting without intending to go further is innocent, and they still get a kick and the ability to get some of their attraction out without going over the line.
Teasing -- You get someone hyped up into thinking that they will be getting something and you don't give it to them.
Flirting - Letting someone know you are into them and would possibly give them a little more in due time.
Well teasing could be defined a few ways. It could be flirting but no intention of following through, it could be like flirting in a kind of mean way. It's hard to define flirting, it's like showing attraction though different common forms. I'd rather be a flirt and I'd rather be flirted with.
