Note: This answer assumes you are a committed Christian. If not, then never mind:
When I was single I never considered flirting a sin. I think it's ok for singles, as long as it doesn't get suggestive. Suggestive flirting would be saying you are open to more physical involvement than you really are...or should be.
However, as a married person, I can see how flirting could be a sin for me, because I have promised my heart to my spouse. Flirting would be like opening the door to unfaithfulness. Flirting says, "I am available," when in fact, I'm not. So at the very least, it would be dishonest, and could ultimately lead to adultery. So I don't go there.

It is a sin when either you or the person who you are flirting with is married to someone else; and you are flirting with them as a means to get in their bed.
Also, it would be a sin to keep flirting and hitting on someone when they have made it clear that they aren't interested. This action would violate the Golden Rule, "Do to others as you would have them do to you." You wouldn't want someone to keep flirting with you or calling you even after you told them you weren't interested, so you shouldn't do the same thing to others.
I think other than those ocassions flirting is not a sin.

If you are married, its ok to flirt with your husand or wife.
If you are not married its sin to flirt with anyone except your husband or wife.
Now if there are two Christians, say in college, one guy, one girl, and if one is interested in the other, flirting could be a way for one to figure out if the other is interested.
Flirting should never, even in that context be done in a vulger way.
Also note that flirting is NOT a contact sport.

Flirting is not a sin, but sometimes the intent is

Sin is any want of conformity unto, or transgression of, the law of God.
If you're flirting in a way that would be unfaithful to your marriage vows, wouldn't you consider that a sin?

Flirting with danger

Although right and wrong is not conditional, God sees who "knows not what they do", and who "knew better!"
If that "still small voice" in your heart convicts you of sin, it IS sin, for you!
God said "judge yourself lest you be judged"; don't judge the other guy (that's too easy, and too easily misjudged).
God's Word described this concept brilliantly...when Jesus commanded us to "Find the speck in YOUR own eye."

flirting is a sin when the girl is related to you or she is ugly,
it is not a sin when she is not your relative and she is good-looking, hot, or at least do-able for that night.

this is not a solid habit, reason even although you insist you does not circulate to mattress with everyone you flirt with, putting your self interior the way of temptation will bring about temptations.
