He's a tease He constantly rips on you — in a jokey, not mean manner — it's a sure sign that he's hoping you'll be teasing him right back in the near future. “If a man teases or makes fun of you that is a sign that he is completely comfortable around you,” says Flicker.
If he likes you, he might also tease you. This means that he'll playfully make fun of you or joke around with you in a harmless fashion. He will think this is funny or entertaining.

Teasing is a playful and lighthearted form of flirting that involves joking or making fun of the other person in a good-natured way. Teasing can create a fun and flirty relaxed atmosphere and help both parties feel at ease, but it's essential to be mindful of boundaries and feelings.
It's a flirtatious move, as long as it's light teasing. As long as the girl isn't being offended to the point where she may get emotional, it's probably okay. Just know the line between teasing and bullying.
A common form of teasing is verbal bullying or taunting. This behavior is intended to distract, disturb, offend, sadden, anger, bother, irritate, or annoy the recipient. Because it is hurtful, it is different from joking and is generally accompanied by some degree of social rejection.
This includes actions like calling you funny nicknames, teasing you, or joking around with you. Each person flirts in a slightly different way, but if your crush is being playful in a way that's funny and lighthearted, they're likely trying to get your attention and show their affection.
Don't respond much at all, or just laugh along
If someone teases you, you don't always have to come back with an entertaining line. Sometimes you won't be able to think of a good retort, or just won't feel like it. You can quickly smile or nod to acknowledge the comment, then move on with the conversation.
He finds small ways to compliment you.
Battle says people tend to find small ways to compliment someone they're interested in. So if a guy keeps genuinely complimenting everything from your eyes to your creative endeavors, that could be a sign they're really into you.
If he compliments your eyes, the color of your hair, your laugh, or an admirable aspect of your personality, then he's definitely flirting with you. He may even tease you a bit while flirting with you, like if he says something like, "That's the brightest sweater I have ever seen," but he's still flirting with you.
Men prefer a woman who can stay calm and relaxed. Beauty is more than make-up and a fancy haircut. Men find women more attractive when they are neat and clean. Men find women who smell nice, who have clean hair and hydrated skin more attractive than a face perfectly covered in makeup.
Men who are attracted to you might even engage in more touch. If a man actively tries to touch you during your interaction, it may mean he wants to get closer to you or close the distance between you two.
Another clear sign he likes you is if he is actively trying to hang out with you, or help you, or find out more about you. There are also indicators like eye contact or compliments, and showing that he's interested in your physical appearance, or who you are as a person.
They Make Extra Effort To Talk To You
If your crush often finds excuses to talk to you like they text you to ask trivial things or stop a conversation with others to start one with you, then that could be a sign that they like you.
She tries to spend time with you
She may not request for or say it explicitly, but one of the signs that a girl loves you secretly is that she always wants to be with you. A girl interested in you will look for opportunities to be around you or initiate conversations or activities with you.
Teasing that has good, positive results (i.e., making people laugh and relieving stress in a social situation) can be considered appropriate teasing. But kids often have difficulty seeing the line between teasing and hurting someone's feelings.
