Making friends and not flirting?

Hey y'all
As a first year at uni, I got a genuine question. how do you not flirt with boys and just hang out? Like Idk why but I feel like every time I even talk to a guy, I'm flirting in a way? I can't figure out how to differentiate between the two and I'm sorry if that makes me sound horrible but I could really use some advice!

Thx

Make it clear to the guy that you are *not* interested in any relationships. It also isn't helpful to be dating someone when you are in uni, it just adds stuff to manage. If you are single, you can worry about less things. As a guy, if I receive a message from a seemingly-flirtatious girl saying she doesn't want to get into relationships, I will immediately realise this is just how she acts and is not trying to hit me up in any way.
Just be candid and guys will realise. Decline any advances immediately and clearly.
