Verb definitions:-
1. To intentionally behave in a way that one believes will induce sexual arousal in their target. This word is distinct from 'tease' in two respects - firstly, it doesn't imply that the subject does not intend to satisfy the sexual arousal that he or she has manufactured and secondly, whereas the verb 'to tease' is usually used in reference to a woman's actions, the verb 'to flirt' can be used in reference to a man or a woman's actions.
2. To toy with (an idea usually, but sometimes an entity.)
Noun definition:-
One who is known to indulge in the actions detailed in the first verb definition can be described as 'a flirt'.

this is a difficult word to define because what may be flirting to one person may not be to another. i guess, as a verb, it would be defined as intentionally trying to attract the attention of one you "like" using means that could be considered seductive.
'Natalie, u were flirting with him!'
'Nooo...thats just how i normally act. u could definately tell if i was actually flirting with him.'

Playful banter usually, but not restricted, with members of the opposite sex. This usually includes a conscious desire to flatter the one being flirted with. Flirting is a core aspect of many relationships today between a boy and a girl.
Girls are often caught flirting with each other. In this context, it is usually not intended sexually but playfully.
Nearly all accounts of flirting include subtle sexual innuendos and, to the unexperienced, can sometimes seem harmless.

BAD: "LAWL YOU'RE HAWT"
GOOD: "Guuuurl, if you were Sprite, I'd obey my thirst ;)"
NOTE:
Winking is an effective means of alerting participating parties that you are flirting
