Questions: Flirting

This guy at school knows I'm easily startled and will jump and yell if he sneaks up on me so he does it a lot. Or he'll hide inside the doorway and jump out at me.

He also teases me a lot and says things that he knows make me want to slap him. He always does this in class when I can't slug him! If we're having a fake fight he'll say stuff like " listen, bitch..." (Then he pauses to wait for me to realize what he's said and grins) but he's kidding and just wants a reaction from me. He challenges me all the time at games and we are super competetive.

When he makes me mad in class I pinch him hard because you can't see that. He thinks that's funny. Or if he mouths off in my car while I'm driving I pinch his cheek really hard or grab his nose. He just laughs. I've told him that if he ever has the balls to say anything not at school I will punch him. More laughter. I threaten him almost daily.

We have an inside joke that I hate him and I always talk crap about him to other people, but only jokingly in front of him. He tells people I hate him but it's also a joke. We've told each other we are each other's fave person in our school of 2000.

Is this just goofing around? As far as I know, I'm the only girl at school he acts like this with. He also calls me cuh cuh and nig, but neve dude or bro. No idea why he thinks that's funny. Is this how guys act with female friends? Is he into me?

So there's this guy I text and he's really sweet and he always puts heart eyes and Kissie emojis next to almost everything. He calls me cutie all the time but I never get called hot or fine. Is he just calling me cutie by My face or does he not think I'm fine? I don't know I need help.. Im pretty sure he likes me but who wants to date somebody who only thinks your cute.. Common, that's kinda kiddish.

I've never actually done it but know people who get a thrill out of it.

just curious.
