Difference between hitting on someone and flirting with them?

If you're ugly flirting is creepy and if you are attractive then it's cute. But seriously hitting on someone has a clear objective, you want their number, you want to kiss them ect. Flirting is more coy, you are teasing them playfully or compliment them, looking at them and smile.

Depends who you're asking.

and their interpretation is no better than yours.

I'd say one implies reciprocation.

I think it's about intention.

If I'm hitting on girls then I want something from them.

If I'm flirting then I may just be playful / having fun.

Basically if I had a gf, I wouldn't hit on girls, but I'd happily flirt with them, just not pursue it any further.

Hitting On

Damn girl, I'll take one of you with nothing on it!

Flirting

says something funny

You have such a great smile.

Pretty sure it's a synonym.

My interpretations of the words are as follows: When you're hitting on someone your goal is to escalate your relationship (go on a date / have sex etc.). Flirting is showing slightly more intimacy than your relationship suggests.

For example, if you tell a girl you're a millionaire in order to get her to sleep with you, you're hitting on her but not necessarily flirting. Flirting can be something like looking into her eyes and smiling, or touching her in a way you wouldn't touch your male friend. Flirting is also often done just for fun, without intent to escalate.

What is the difference actually?

First off, why are you preoccupied with this supposed distinction? Even if you come up with some answer, how would it help you?

Secondly, those things ARE synonyms. You're trying to find a difference between two things that are the same thing.
