Not always. I may LIKE the person as a person, but that doesn't always mean that I'm attracted to them in "that way."
I pick on some dudes (albeit a little differently) like they're my brothers. I'm just playful and sarcastic. If I didn't mess with someone in little ways, I either wouldn't know them well enough to know if they could handle it, or I wouldn't care much for them.
It MAY mean that he thinks of you only as a sister (I have friends like that), or it could mean he's interested. Or he just likes messing with people to get a rise out of them. Or to shake up the status quo. It's not an obvious thing. But it's a possibility.

Usually. Bugging chicks is like humorous flirting.. But guys will bug cute girls that they don't want to be with as well. This guy probably likes you
In your case I think it's true, especially since he's being a bit physical by patting your head or tapping your shoulder. Guys tend to be pretty careful with that stuff and usually aren't very touchy with people unless they really like them. Whereas many girls can be touchy with pretty much anyone and even hug people they barely know.
In other cases I think it just depends on the guy, some guys are jokesters by nature and will poke fun at almost anyone.
Yes many guys do this, they stop the pulling hair in Junior High School and move on to teases you playfully about something you do or have done, your height, appearance but they always make sure you know it's all in fun, they have no I'll intentions.

Its all about context and chemistry. If he's playing and paying attention to you, then it means he likes you.
But thats not enough information to see if its sexual in nature.
You could always test the water by seeing how much touching or contact he's comfortable with.
Test the boundary a little :)It is a well-known fact in guy culture: Guys complement each other by insulting each other.
My experience is, a lot if guys (like myself) don't often extreme that to women. Many, like the guy mentioned in the question, actually do, and that's alright. Based on what you're saying, he definitely likes you.Um this sounds a little mean. Like I would playfulle tease a girl about something stupid she did, but always in a nice way that won't break her down.
Calling someone a midget doesn't sound playful.
Maybe: is the guy under 15 years old, or a childish grownup?
Maybe he just doesn't understan the difference between playful and abusive.
In any case, sounds like he's into you, but be careful for the way he treats you.It depends on the guy but I know plenty of guys like this so that may be a pretty safe bet. I don't know how girls put up with those sorts of guys, I feel like if a girl did that to me it'd just drive me nuts buuut... hey if you enjoy it then maybe something will come of it? I honestly have no idea but again, as a general rule I'd say this is a sign of affection.
He might be, he might not be. Society's pretty garbage at providing examples of good flirting behavior, so he might just be being friendly, or it might be his rather heavy-handed way of showing that he's interested. Only way to know is to ask him. Tell him how you feel about him, and things will work themselves out. Good luck!
I'm not sure I have a lot of guy friends who already have girlfriends who love to tease me but I think they do it because they think it's cute when a small women gets angry. I'm also 5ft and my crush is 6ft4 too so I know you're pain lol😂
Typically it means he is flirting with you and he thinks you are cute.
My opinion if he does like you he's immature by the way he's going about it.
When a man likes you a man would set the record straight and tell you he has been feeling something for you and would make it official.His intentions are that he does want to get your attention. Usually that's the case... Sometimes, guys use the "I'll ignore you to get attention" but usually that doesn't work for most of us. But it's safe to see he likes you.
90% chance that means the guy likes/wants to have sex w/ a girl. But there's always that 10%...
True. Especially when it about height. Short girls are cute
Either he's flirting or he thinks of you as a little sister.
Boys like small girls because they are cute and boys like to pick them up and love them.
Yes, my ex did this alwaya with his female coworkers in front of me... fortunately he is my ex now
Definitely. I give the girls I like a very hard time because it's so much fun!
I don't really like how he's making fun of you like that. That is kinda demeaning with the tapping on the head thing
It can be true, yes. But it isn't always true, it depends on other things too. You could ask him and then you'd know for sure, assuming he'd be honest about it.
Yup, he wants to tag and move on. No respect shown means he doesn't actually care much what happens.
Not all the time, some guys just like to tease naturally.
Not always true.. but often, I have many of my male friends who love teasing me and annoying me for fun (basically for my funny expressions)
