text: how and what....? ok, i was just curious today. i have 2 questions below ↓ that i wanted answers to:  1.  how do you know/how can you tell if a guy is flirting with you? i want all of the signs.  2. what's the difference between "flirting" and "hitting-on someone" or "being hit-on by someone"?  what's the difference? please tell me.  thank you so much for your help. i can't really answer the first question- there are thousands of signs..here are the main ones...  1. hugs you alot 2. smiles at you alot 3. plays with your hair 4. touches you alot 5. stares at you alot 6. always compliments you  the difference between flirting and getting hit on is hitting on someone is more direct..  like if i were to say.." you must wash your clothes in windex, cause i can see myself in them" or "do you like sports, cause i can see myself playing with you all night" or "1 date with me and you'll never want another man again."  flirting is not as direct its more like-   "you look great today" or "how do you stay so skinny? you have the perfect figure" or  "any guy that gets you will be the luckiest guy in the world"
