Flirting really makes me cringe. I feel so nervous and uncomfortable when guys try to make eye contact or flirt. I come off as super uninterested. But the thing is, I want a boyfriend. Maybe I need to get out of the house more, because I don’t remember feeling this way back in my high school days. But this feeling seems like it's hard to shake. I feel like people either think I’m in a relationship or assume I'm a stuck-up basic bitch (probably because I’m not drop-dead gorgeous).

If you find a guy you want to date but, don't want to flirt. You can straight up say, "Hi, I'm not too good at flirting, so can I just give you my number?". Guys will like that you want them, and made it simple. Straight to the point. It's hard to decipher when girls are interested most of the time, because it's so similar to just being friendly.
A lot of guys decide in the first 30 seconds if they'd like to go on a date. So, you'll be sure to get an answer. Also, remember to smile, even if your looking down and smiling he'll find it cute. But try to lock eyes, it literally releases hormones that trigger attracting.
If you’re uncomfortable with the way guys flirt with you, then maybe you need to be the one to show interest in a guy first, so you can control how you do it. For example, you might just walk up to them and tell them you think they’re attractive and would like to get to know them- it’s straight to the point and you cut out all of that back and forth flirting you hate.
Maybe you need to get out from the house more. Indeed.
