I believe the answer is:

make advances

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

'approach flirtatiously' is the definition.
'make advances' can be an answer for 'approach' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'flirtatiously' bit.

'model proceeds' is the wordplay.
'model' becomes 'make' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'proceeds' becomes 'advances' (I've seen this before).
'make'+'advances'='MAKE ADVANCES'

'to' acts as a link.
