L'yhta is a fair bit confused with regards to love, in many ways because she doesn't like herself very much. She has an unfortunate tendency to latch onto father figures (platonically, thank you very much, despite rumors to the contrary 
) and obsess over their approval, even more than she obsesses over the approval of her friends. This obsession over what people thinks tends to cause her to latch onto people fairly strongly and to get hurt when people that "should" like her don't.
Being fairly immature, she also has a tendency to misinterpret a deep platonic love for a romantic one, and to conflate the two. This has, in the past, caused problems (and may in the future cause problems). At any rate, she does deeply love her Very Good Friend, which is something of a surprise to her as she's not typically attracted to women. Whether this love is a misinterpreted one, though, is an open question, as it's yet to be significantly tested.
In the end, L'yhta's a big believer in love; she's certain True Love exists, that people are inevitably drawn to their soulmates, and that romance is a key part of life. As she says from time to time, "I fight for four things! Truth! Beauty! Freedom! And above all else: Love!"
EDIT: As for flirtation? Nope. She doesn't get that at all. Any time she flirts, it's either clumsy and awkward or unintentional. She's been trying to get better at it, but she doesn't have many people with which to practice.
