When you´re flirting, there´s always the chance that someone will come up to you that you´re not interested in, while the person you *are* interested in doesn´t approach. Don´t drive away the first person or, when they leave, make faces showing you´re glad! Your ´approachability´ is being judged by others who are watching you. If you make it seem that you´re not easy to talk to, or that you´re not welcoming talkers, then the other people you DO want to flirt with might stay away. If instead you use the first person to demonstrate how friendly and open you are, it might encourage the others to make a move.
That´s not to say you have to stay with the first person all night to be nice. Find a gentle way to say you want to mix with other people, and move on.
