footsie

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

'flirtatious activity' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'wiggling of toe is' is the wordplay.
'wiggling' indicates anagramming the letters (letters wiggle around).
'of'+'toe'+'is'='oftoeis'
'oftoeis' is an anagram of 'FOOTSIE'.
