I see flirtation as a way of expressing interest in someone, as well as a boost to Ego (on both sides). It can be the beginning of something in depth and benefitial, or a harmless vent of sexual tension.....which it turns into depends on both parties involved in the relationship it creates. The key may very well be in how honest we can be once flirting passes the point of pure fun, and becomes an emotional thing.
I suppose much of the flavour of the flirt comes down to "How" we interact, and if indeed there is something behind the play that might make it real in the mind of one or the other. If we see something there, and wish to avoid hurting someone, great care must be taken......or, simply ending the flirt completely.
Just my take.
