Flirtation and sexual harassment are two very differents things. Unfortunately, some women may not be able to distinguish between the two until the line has been crossed. While flirtation is often at times harmless, harassment isn't and never will be!

But here's the thing- how do you know the difference? What are the other distinct traits that can help you avoid the latter if you ever encounter one? 

He's flirting with you if:

1. Both feelings and actions are MUTUAL and reciprocal.

It takes two to tango, and both of you are clearly enjoying each other's company and gestures.

2. He makes your heart flutter.

All of a sudden, you get butterflies in your stomach and can't stop thinking about him (in a good way). 

3. He makes you feel flattered.

Whenever both of you communicate, you'd always feel a surge of confidence and happiness.

The red flags you should look out for:

1. He touches you inappropriately

A non-consensual physical touch is a major red flag! If he suddenly leans in for a kiss or reaches for your thighs without your consent, then you'd know this is harassment.

2. You feel uncomfortable

You'd rather run into a brick wall than facing him, because you know how creepy he acts around you or other girls.

3. He often makes sexual comments.

Verbal harassment is still harassment, and is equally unacceptable as the physical one. Whether he's talking to you in a sexually charged tone or making degrading comments about your body, you have every right to report his behavior!
