Define playfully.
I've found that when girls "playfully" hit me, it's sometimes a red flag that means they'll quickly graduate to non-so-playful hitting when they're angry. Lots of girls are outraged at domestic abuse, yet they think it's okay to hit guys.

Hitting is abuse, flat out. It's not a sign of playing, it's not a sign of love or like. It's a sign that you want his attention and don't know how to do it in a positive way. You have been misinformed about what is okay. If you want to show a boy you like him, you have some options and can come up with your own. 1. tell him you like him. Words are a great way to communicate appropriately. 2. Give him a card if you find speaking hard at fist. 3. Bake him some cupcakes or make him a meal if you like cooking. 4. Play video games together if that's your thing. 5. Spend time getting to know each other and see him for who he really is, not who you want him to be. Then you'll know if you really like him. 6. Play sports together if you both like sports or you can have him show you how to play. 7. Go to the movies. 8. Go out to eat. 9. Go to a concert 10. take the train into the city if you live near one. 11. Think of fun things you like like music and share your interests and dreams. If you find yourself apologizing all the time or trying to figure him out and changing yourself to make him comfortable, he is not the right boy for you. Dating is like shopping. You go in to a store, you try on one shirt, if you don't like it, you try on another shirt, and then another. You don't take the first shirt just because you wish the shirt was the one you wanted. You put the shirt back on the rack and try another. When two people are meant to be together, it will seem natural. He will let you be yourself and like that about you. You will let him be himself and like that about him. Don't be upset if a boy says he doesn't like you back. You wouldn't want a boy who doesn't like you. Believe me, you will find another boy that you like who also likes you. It hurts for a few days just like getting hurt physically, but then it heals, and life moves on. And yes it is hard to see a boy with another girl. It's also going to be hard for him to see you. But eventually you get used to it. I hope you find these tips useful. Please stop hitting and NEVER let a boy hit you, ever. Not to play, not for real, just not ever. A boy who hits you DOES NOT like or love you, they're secretly mean and pretending to like you because they don't want people to know they're broken inside.
I have a friend that did that to me recently. I was standing there talking to another guy and she was just slapping my arm. Not hard. I looked at her and said "what are you doing?". She just kind of ducked under my arm and gave me a hug. Think she's flirting with me?
If I was having a conversation with a girl and she kinda hit me on the shoulder with a laugh, then hell yes I'd put all my moves on her. How else do you interpret that? There is no way, I tell you.
Playful hitting is definite interest in my mind but it depends on his experience and how well you know each other. I usually say something like "Hey! Careful, I have brittle bones *smirk*"
yes especially if she smacks me on the butt.
