The kind of flirtation that I would take seriously, however, is when a guy shows interest in you by listening and responding to what you're saying.
I would recognize a guy who just wants to go to bed with me, if friendship wasn't present. That doesn't interest me. But he does what you describe as well. We're friends. This is in part why I've taken this seriously. He listens intently to what I say and remembers it (I'm the same with him)...We've had some deep, interesting conversations and sometimes bounce around on a lot of topics, not wanting to stop talking to one another. Just generally like each other very much.
