The above works for that, as well.
In all honesty, I don't try. Because getting into flirt mode is a decision of sorts, and I just plain
forget
to do that around guys I like. I get so deep into the moment I'd need to have someone flashing signals at me from across the room to do anything that even vaguely hinted at artifice.
And that's not to slag on the seducers. I've seen it done nobly and well. I just never remember to even try.
I wave my bloody foot in your direction.
(that's not flirting.)
how exactly does a mother....
Nah. I don't wanna know.
how 'bout the sardonically raised eyebrow and low laugh?
Ya gotta read your audience.
That'd work better. It's not so much the audience as the expectations I've laid ground for.

But it could be!
But I am prepared to make a sworn affidavit that juliana can flirt like a motherfucker.
Yay!!

My biggest issue wrt flirting vs. hitting on, was the receiver thinking the former was the later.
What was described up above by both ita and erin was almost always interpreted as having intent. No way you do that and not have many men I know not think you wanna hook-up.
And for me anyway, flirting loses all fun when a guy I don't wanna sleep with starts acting like the hook-up is ON.
Hmm. That can be a problem. I usually make it so eye-rollingly OBVIOUS that most guys pick up on it.
And I usually can pick up with the first few flirty pitches if a guy (or gal -- I'm an equal-op flirter) will Get It, or start slavering and whinging.
Sometimes I'm wrong, but at this point in my life, not often. And I save hard-core full-on-filth flirting to old pals.

Seriously, have you seen yourself in the mirror? Sworn affidavit to your buckets of charm and full-on mad flirty skills, but Great Beauty doesn't hurt.
