What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
IMO, a sexual harassment lawsuit.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
I flirt, but I never hit on. Flirting is the playful badinage that acknowledges sexual possibility. Doesn't have to have a whit of intent. I flirt with guys at the krav centre all the time. Hitting on means you actually want to do something about that, and ita don't play that. Well, hasn't. I don't think.
I do, in general, consider myself quite Neuter Girl. I don't even get flirted with much, much less hit on by people who aren't random strangers.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'm so very, very tempted to tell one of our AEs that I am not a graphic designer, and her requests are inappropriate.
Dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
For me - and this is Only Me - flirting is not always with intent. I can comfortably flirt with a wide range of people, and it's rarely serious. Hitting on is much like (verbalizing) ita's "You. Let's." with a "Now" often added in.

I think I even can phrase this diplomatically.
No You are asking the wrong person, BITCH then?
I'm oblivious to signals. Of course, even if I were to pick up on them, I'd likely ignore them.

When I was single it always took getting to the grab-kiss-what? moment before the light bulb went off.
yep. I will be forever greatful to my friend Mattheus for just swooping in and kissing me in the middle of a sentence, because I never would have had any idea that he was interested.
For me, hitting on is flirting with intent.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
What's the difference between flirting and hitting on?
I'd like to know this as well. I mean, I get the gyst. Flirting is more for fun, while hitting on is more serious, but my brain isn't really wired that way. If there's no interest, I don't really flirt.

Dooooooooo iiiiiiiiiiiit.
I'm just really, really tired of my coworkers asking me to do things I'm not supposed to do. Like, legally, in this case. Although it applies to a trademark and branding thing in this case, rather than asking me to boost a car and fill the trunk with hot merchandise, or some shit.
The fact remains.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Because, um, I'm leaving, I'm so very, very tempted to tell one of our AEs that I am not a graphic designer, and her requests are inappropriate.
I think I even can phrase this diplomatically.
A lot of sins can be covered with a nice "FYI."
"FYI, your requests should really be directed to Department X in the future, since I'm leaving and will no longer be around to serve in the capacity of your butt-monkey."
(also, shrift, I kind of just posted a YnM drabble.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Flirting can be exhilarating fun. I can grab asses, pinch cheeks, and talk dirty without having to wonder about who likes who. But I only do it with guys I'm SURE wouldn't possibly hit on me. And guys I wouldn't hit on, myself.
If I like a guy, my flirt bone gets broken, and I find myself gasping for air when I think of it. So, instead, I just go with the flow and do whatever. No concern for escalation.
