flirt ( P ) Pronunciation Key (flūrt)

v. intr.
To make playfully romantic or sexual overtures.
To deal playfully, triflingly, or superficially with: flirt with danger.
To move abruptly or jerkily.
I think flirting is innate. In the real world, (outside LF) I am quite reserved, but I do have my moments, in which I probably flirt - but with no intentions - only to put a smile on the recipeint face!
My definition of flirting is 'nothing but playful exchanges' between man and woman (or man/man, woman/woman -> whatever tickles your fancy).
