How does one even go about flirting with another woman?

There's are always lesbians in this world I'm sure there at least one at your school or maybe work I've found that lesbians r easier to get along with there more outgoing and they are sexier they also talk dirty so maybe go to a chat room and practice with it but that's about all I have!

No one is 100% gay or 100% straight. Some are bi and some are bi curious.

Well, I think a safe way to go about it is to just make friends with people, with no intention of being just sexual. If it comes up in conversation, let them know honestly that you go both ways. A friend of mine came out a while after I knew him. It bugged me that he kept it a secret, but at the same time he was respectful that I am not interested in men. Looking back I realized I was oblivious to the times he flirted with me. So if you are wanting to test the waters with a women, try complimenting her and see how she responds. If she flirts back, most likely she is at least curious. If not, she might not even realize you are flirting.

Or if you're not shy about being bi at all, make it known among your circle of friends. They might introduce you to some women they know. Another option, go to a lesbian bar or such. There are many websites out there for networking. Taking those steps will take the guesswork out of the situation for you. Most likely anyone at those locations would be interested in you :)

Good luck out there.

I'm bi curious and I flirt with straight women. But they can't tell. They just think I'm giving them compliments.

If you live in a city, you might try looking for a lesbian club or bar. I tried that for a while. Unfortunately, my city is practically devoid of lipsticks (i.e. feminine-presenting women attracted to other feminine women, people like myself), or at least, devoid of real ones, not just sorority girls trying to attract men. So I tend to stick out a bit. And the more butch women in the clubs often assume I'm straight and just got lost, haha. But depending on the kind of women you tend to be attracted to and how prevalent they are in your city, you might have more success than I did.

Other than that, I submit my corollary to the Golden Rule: Flirt with others in the way that you would want them to flirt with you. Talk to them, be genuine, take an interest in them and their lives. Physical contact is always good, touching the arm, etc. The nice thing about flirting with girls is that a lot of women are just naturally affectionate, and so if the woman doesn't want to think you're flirting with her, she might interpret it as platonic affection rather than freaking out.

I think that this area is one in which a lot of people simply need to grow up. It shouldn't be a cause for freaking out if you're straight and a gay person hits on you, just as most gay and lesbian people I know don't freak out if a straight person hits on them. People should just treat the situation as they would with a person of the opposite sex that they weren't attracted to. Something like, "I'm flattered, but I'm not into girls, sorry. " Just politely decline, you know? But some people (not all, of course) freak out, and I think it will be a while before we as a society are totally comfortable with non-heterosexuality.
