Light, playful jabs about your quirks
Flirting
Affectionate teasing about small things means he's paying attention and enjoying the back-and-forth. That's flirtation, not insult.

REAL DECODES
Teasing, by the flavor.
He teases, then softens with a compliment
Definitely flirting
The push-pull of a jab plus a sweet line is classic chemistry-building. He wants the spark, not just the laugh.
Teasing that actually stings
Red flag
If the 'jokes' make you feel small, that's not flirting — it's a pattern worth naming. Kind people tease kindly.
He teases everyone the same way
Just his personality
If you're not getting special treatment, the teasing may be his default humor, not targeted interest.

FAQ
More about teasing.
Does teasing mean a guy likes you?
Often, yes — playful teasing is a low-risk way to create chemistry and hold your attention. The key is whether it's warm. If it stings, it's not flirting. DearHim can read the tone of yours.
How do I respond when he teases me?
Tease back. Matching his playfulness with confidence keeps the spark alive and shows you're unbothered. I'll help you land a good comeback.
When is teasing a bad sign?
When it consistently makes you feel worse, targets insecurities, or doesn't stop when you push back. That's disrespect dressed as a joke.
