if your friends with a member of the opposite sex and you like them, do you touch him or her for example give a pat on the shoulder and just touch him or her whenever the oppurtunity presents it-self. Does this mean your being friendly or can it mean something else, for instance my co-worker was on holiday for three weeks and after he came back to work, a female friend of his who i happen to like just kept patting him on the shoulder and touched his arm whenever she could. Is she actually interested in him ? Coundn't say I was a bit jealous. Maybe i'm reading too much into it and i'm jumping to conclusions about them

I would say that typically when you notice someone touching another or you excessively yes it's a good sign that they are flirting and showing interest.

I dont know how everyone else is - but I think its probably going to be similar. If I'm only friends with the opposite sex, I'm not going to try to be touching her all the time. I might do it once or twice while we're together if I'm making a point with the gesture or something like that - but I wouldn't just touch them whenever I could. When its someone I like though - I'd try to touch them more - but more often I'd try to keep their touch when they touch me first.

 

If your co-worker's friend is naturally a very touchy-feely person, she could just be being friendly. I wouldn't really consider a pat on the shoulder flirty, but depending on the way it happened, as well as the way the arm touches happened - it could mean anything. It sometimes takes more than just a few pats on the shoulder and a few arm pats to see if theres a connection between two people - it usually doesnt' take long though to see that the one person is really acting different around a certain person that they like.

 

If I were you - I'd probably look at it as her being just a little flirty, but only to be friendly since he's been gone on his trip for a few weeks. Were they good friend prior to him going on holiday? If so, I'd say she was just being friendly and was happy to see him back.

no i actually don't think she is a touchy feely type of person, well only with people she seems to know or likes, that dude who went on holiday for a few weeks. I think they've all always been friends maybe i'm reading too much into it i seem to over-analyse everything. What do you mean by flirting does that mean talking to girls, chatting to them etc? what do they hope to achieve by flirting with each another?
