Do you think playful arguing can be considered flirting?

[Anonymous]

for some reason this girl and me are always arguing. Nothing serious but we give each other a hard time and argue about little things. I hate arguing with people (both seriously and playfully) but with her I can go and and on for some reason and she knows EXACTLY what to say to kinda keep it going or start it. Like I would see her and I will make a generalizing statement about women (jokingly) and she'll bite right away and say something.

We stopped talking for months (lets just say we had a REAL argument and it got out of hand) and now that we are talking again, we started like normal people but now we are back to trying to argue. We both have fun, because its not offensive, we just try to be smartass and try to outsmart each other.

I can't explain why I do it but would you say this is a form of flirting? or we are just nuts?

I don't see harm in friendly bantering, if its playful then yes I would consider it some form of flirting.

And if you two are doing it just to get a reaction out of one another its a possibility you are interested in what she/he thinks. I guess its judging on you guys personality, its OK for two individuals to have differences in opinions as long as it remains friendly and respectful.

Now, II feel if it's a constant "serious"arguments then it's safe to say

You two just don't get along. And there's no reason to assume anything else.

Nah, that serious argument was just both of us having a crappy day and it got out of hand and it turned into a snowball effect with other circumstances until it got really bad. We are over it now afte a long time. Its just funny that we keep bantering

It could be unresolved issues. There's tension find out the root of the tension and resolve it.

That might clear things up between you guys. And then you can go back to being normal and not crazy as you sound lol. Good luck

I think before your "REAL" it could have been considered semi-flirting but if it got out of hand, she might just be snarky and trying to outsmart you whenever she can to get back at you. Feelings might have been hurt so you know...

I do this to flirt sometimes to certain people, but I'm also in high school and you're 30-35 years old.

[Asker]

Haha, I know. People tell us that we act like little kids when we are together :P

[Haeleyizzaynsgurl]

[Asker]

[everynameistaken]

[Deviouscourage]

Yes, but as a girl it is very annoying.

[Asker]

Lol well, she has been starting them. I was unsure how to act since she has been mad at me for a while. I even told her not to get me started lol

[1stPlace]

As a girl? You don't think a guy would be annoyed?
