I’ve developed this relationship with this girl recently. For reasons I won’t get into I don’t see it becoming romantic however I have noticed that we constantly talk shit on each other; with slight instances of real talk.

I will admit I love the banter and at times realize this is something I’d like in a romantic relationship with plates or LTRs. I’ve talked to my friends about it and they seem to be on the fence on if it an IOI or not. I would like to know your opinions on this and if you would consider playful shit talking as flirting.
