coquetry

   “With a lover […] her sensibility will naturally lead her to endeavour to excite emotion, not to gratify her vanity, but her heart. This I do not allow to be coquetry, it is the artless impulse of nature […]”

2. isim An act constituting such behaviour; an affectation of amorous interest or enticement, especially of a woman directed towards a man.

   “The little coquetries, which are as natural to a gay young girl as her laughter, were all in full play, and had she gone no further no harm would have been done.”
