The language of flirting should be clear to both and often precedes the sexual relationship, although continuation is optional.
Coquetry, synonyms of which are widely used, is often associated with affectation.

Description of coquetry in literature
A striking example of excessive coquette is the image of Emilia Fontaine from Honore de Balzac's Country Ball. She easily wins the attention of the young Maximilian Longueville and the titled old man whom she prefers to marry. The rejected groom achieves a lot in life, becoming a rich viscount. Emilia can only curse her own delusions of youth. The Duchess de Langeais from Balzac's story of the same name is an example of a classic coquette, constantly changing mood, under the word "yes" meaning "no", holding the attention of men.
Coquetry is a tool skillfully used by the heroines of Russian literature. The most striking image is Olga Larina from the novel "Eugene Onegin" by A. Pushkin, who is "sweet as a kiss", and everything is with her - "movements, voice, flaxen curls." The image of an absolute beauty is drawn without the slightest flaw, but it is precisely because of coquetry that the main character does not see in her the ability to have a deep, real feeling.
