The act of flirting is just a way of "attracting" in a sexual manner (whether we admit it or not) a member of the other sex. And it has no specific antonym for it. However, If someone attempts to flirt and fails the polite opposite would be "repelled". Many other alternatives could be used such as:Turned off. It will mainly depend on the situation but I would vouch for those2

Thanks for the invite,

And sorry, I do not know or/and I could not find an opposite for the word in question!

 

If you are looking for a place for easy communication and casual flirting, just try flirt chat online. I started using the platform for fun, but quickly got involved, because there are really interesting people to talk to. I even improved my skills in online flirting and I think I can give master classes now. I met people from all over the world and every conversation was unique. It's not just flirting, but a real pleasure to communicate with people who share your interests.

if flirting did not have a sexual indication almost always , i would have elected the term ( flattered ) for the opposite of the term ( flirt ).

Flirt is an amorous action without serious intention, its opposite are cool, modest, shy, unprovocative actions. However these antonyms use depends on context of the action of individual flirting anybody.

I agree with Adeeb Haddad, repel seems to be a fit also ward off or repulse. Peeve and anger could also be used although to a lesser extent.
