Need some advice on if she’s interested or is just flirting and is being friendly. I also understand she’s a bartender (thats their thing is to flirt for tips) but this happens outside of her working and bar.

So this girl that works next door i talk with sometimes (she works at a bar, i am security for a pizza store next door) but she playfully screws with me she puts her hair headband on my head has given me a full on body to body neck hug from the front, then the other night we were talking and as she was leaving she punched me in the stomach/abs then walks away and says i love you, (apologizes if i cant read her/ cues) so is she interested?, or is she just playing me? and is being friendly? or is she actually/ might be interested? She also waved to me earlier (im probably just overthinking) (side note she is alittle shorter than me im 5’10 so that might explain the hugging might not)

Im assuming a woman wouldn’t be physical with a man if she wasn’t attractive and interested in him.
