flirtatiousness

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'romantic behaviour' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'anti-florists? use butchers' is the wordplay.
'butchers' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'butchered' mean this (I've seen this in other clues)).
'anti'+'florists'+'use'='antifloristsuse'
'antifloristsuse' is an anagram of 'FLIRTATIOUSNESS'.

'for' is the link.
