Shoulder touch for flirting?

[Anonymous]

Is it flirting or just friendly? Which is more likely because I know it could be either way. Like if a girl that has shown signs of liking me just started touching your shoulder, should I read that as a way of breaking the touch barrier or just being friendly?

She has done it like once a day where she will pat me shoulder like 4 times with her whole hand. But I have seen her do it like one time to one of her friends...but that was only once and she is doing it like once a day to me. Thoughts?

It's flirting. I'd definitely read that as flirting. I usually don't make a lot of "physical" contact unless I'm into the guy.

That's a flirting move alright. =)

So there are signs she likes me(just obvious flirting things) but sometimes it seems like she doesn't(like she doesn't text me...the first 2 times I texted her she didn't respond and the third time I texted she gave a one word answer.) which confuses me. But anyway, when we were waiting for class to start I sat super close to her in the hall and when we were talking she did the shoulder pat thing to my knee this time. Is that def sign she likes me, or should I not read into that?

She might be playing hard to get. Most girls love that game. =) It sounds like she likes you, but I'm afraid the only way to be sure is to ask her. Good luck! ^^

Yea I'm starting to believe you. Well I hope :D... today she patted my hand and joking called me a dork :p Those have gotta be good, right?

"dork" isn't the best compliment XD But it might just be her way =3

Sounds like something I'd do if I was really into a guy. :)

It is flirting unless you guys are really close friends that she finds you extremly comfortable.
