The survey, carried out by One Poll as part of a campaign launch for drinks brand Oasis, found that more than one in five young Britons say they flirt an average of six times a week.
However, while 83% believe they are experts when it comes to seduction, 50% do it online rather than in person.
A further 43% say they 'tech flirt', using a range of smilies and instant messaging when flirting from behind their keyboard.
A total of 1,500 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 took part on the survey.
Of that number, they felt most comfortable flirting face-to-face when they are at a party or a night on the town, with 19% saying they flirted at work.
When it comes to wooing a crush, traditional 'love letters' are being abandoned, with 15% of potential couples preferring to exchange emails, while 14% use 'pokes' to let someone know they want to be more than just friends on Facebook.
Interestingly, the results did find that young people do find the old traditional methods of flirting work best in the long run, with one in five claiming a suggestive smile is too good to resist.
23% said they fall for playful teasing, while 19% said they loved a simple compliment.
