To flirt means to...

[Babnik]

I sometimes get lost in the definition of what it is.

I assumed its just talk about nothing with body language, eye contact, and sexual tension where appropriate. I don't think you can stick sexual discussion and hints everywhere...just once in a while.

Anyone got a different definition?

wikpedia says this:

People who flirt may speak and act in a way that suggests greater intimacy than is generally considered appropriate to the relationship (or to the amount of time the two people have known each other), without actually saying or doing anything that breaches any serious social norms. One way they accomplish this is to communicate a sense of playfulness or irony. Double entendres, with one meaning more formally appropriate and another more suggestive, may be used.

There are three degrees of flirting. The first degree is unintentional, and can occur during normal conversations between two people. You are not consciously trying to impress or make the other person laugh, but your subconscious is at work. The second degree is intentionally trying to make the person laugh, or impressing him or her. Lastly, the third degree of flirting is intentional, and not at all subtle. The person is going out of his or her way to impress someone.

To me, flirting is a positive unplanned interaction between (of course men and women) two individuals without a disappointing outcome which can occur anyplace, anytime or anywhere.
