    A flirty guy will offer you compliments and try to initiate physical contact. Plus, he'll give you extra attention instead of treating you like one of the guys.

    You're probably on a date if your meet-up was scheduled in advance. It probably isn't a date if you made a last-minute decision to catch-up because you both had nothing better to do.
  • Question
    So is it flirting to have a sexual relationship with a person you are not in love with?

    Generally, if you're having sex, you've moved past flirting. There's nothing wrong about having sex with someone you don't love as long as both parties understand the nature of the relationship. If the other person thinks you're in a committed, loving relationship when you're not, you're leading them on and abusing their feelings for you.

    That could be flirting, or it could be that person's version of friendly interaction. If you want to know if he's flirting, ask him.

    That could mean any number of things. It may be a flirtatious behavior, but it could also be friendly. If you're confused, ask him if he's flirting with you.
