...Banter and flirting are essentially the same thing.

(Haha, ogle.)
However, it really depends on the conversation you're having. If you wanted to avoid guys thinking you're flirting with them, while you're talking to them seriously consider the topic and when it's appropriate to use sarcasm. This is a particularly helpful wiki article that I couldn't have phrased better. (It's a good thing I googled it before I tried to explain myself!)

Good luck! I also advice reading the advice on the front page. you can sort of backwards apply the tips on how to tell if a girl likes you and make sure you don't do those.In fact, some (and most) of the ways to tell if a guy likes you can also be applied to girls, so try and double it and make sure you don't do any of those either. I wish you the best!

I got asked out about a year ago by a boy(D) but at the time I liked someone else so said no. Now I realise I actually do like him....a lot. We've known each other for nearly 13 years, we don't speak anymore(we went to different schools) but I walk past his house twice a day and usually see him in the mornings.
I want to ask him out but, I'm terrified of being rejected....
