Jokes on you, me and my friends just straight up flirt as compliments like "HOLY SHIT! Who is this hot dude?"

Was just going to say that this really depends on you and your friends. Got one friend group that is all about cuddling drunk, giving shoulder massages and complimenting each other. Got another that is more about board games and being sure feet don't touch accidentally under the table. All friends are valid <3

I had one friend kinda like that. I felt really weirded out by it at first.

Haven't interacted with him in years (he was married to another close friend of mine, they got divorced and I haven't heard a peep from either of them in years sadge), but now the few friends I have that knew him as well still kinda make comments like him in his memory.

I love the ambiguity. Is "a friend like that" a person that cuddles or a person that has an irrational fear of touching feet?

One that would make jokes about how hot or handsome we were. Just had a sense of humor that seemed similar to the description.

straight up gay flirt

Hmm, I gotta get my work friends adjusted to this/conditioned to do this, it's way too boring in the office.

How does one go about doing something like this?

I'll try with a nice complement, perhaps a soft whisper at the urinals.

As long as they are close enought to know that you are not really trying to date them you are good to go

No, I don't like people, I just want office shenanigans.

Then just go ahead and hope for the best
