Guys, Is playfully hitting flirting?

[Anonymous]

When guys playfully push or hit a girl, does he only do that with a girl he likes or also with a female friend? Either way I know it’s a sign of being comfortable but is it also flirting?

Bumping is high key flirting, but if he play punches you in the shoulder, like you see guys do in tv shows, that's just friendly

I regularly beat up all my friends, and I'm not flirting with them
