I do! and i get so many guys it aint funny, i steal girls boyfriends. which is bad!!! but guys love it.

Thats a big problem too because you have to learn that if you are not the uptight type of girl, then you have to start being your true self again. It's really hard to relax around people who we truly care of what they think of us, but the key to knowing if a guy is right for you is knowing that you can be relaxed and not so tense around them. I'm not saying that you should suddenly feel relaxed around some guy and thats how you know. You just have to start getting to know him a little more. Don't try to think about whether he flirted with you or not.
Nobody knows every single sign of flirting. It's really complicated to answer questions of whether someone is flirting because nobody is for sure what is what. You say that you want to flirt like everyone else does. Well, you think that all of the other girls who flirt aren't nervous or uptight either when it comes to flirting with guys they like? It's not that you are doing anything wrong, you aren't singled-out or the only one who feels this way. Now, some girls are just able to put themselves out there better which is ok too. A lot of times when you get nervous and turn into another person around a guy, it's an insecurity problem.
But who isn't insecure of themselves at times? You just have to learn that if you aren't secure with yourself, then you'll go through life worrying about what other people think of you, and you'd be lying to this guy and yourself if you stay insecure. In other words, relax and just make this guy like a friend first so that you can have an idea of who this guy is.
