I can't tell to be honest every women is just being friendly by default.

I remember a poster put it as if you interpret friendliness for flirting and flirting for friendliness you will get bashed hard. So its a fine line.

Also I am probably going to get bashed for this but I am just going to put it out there.

To the ladies who say just ask her out and handle rejection if you are one of those ladies who also ask guys out I will considered your advice, if you are one of those ladies who expect a guy to do the majority of initiating and all that and would never ask guy yourself I say hush don't tell guys to do something that you yourself will probably never do and tell them to deal with it.

Ok time to grab the flame shield.

There's no difficultly. If she makes it obvious or she helps you get her then she likes you. Anything else she either doesn't like you or you are just an option incase the situation with the person she really likes doesn't work out.

I don't think it's a big deal either, but for some, getting a "no" can really hurt.

Kind of like what JaybirdX is saying, sometimes things (such as asking somebody out and failing) pretty much seems like something you have to experience for yourself to see how tough it could possibly be

And I agree with this. Don't ask for something you aren't willing to give yourself.

I've asked out almost every guy I've dated. Other women here have said the same thing. It's not that rare.

What do you look like and what does he look like? Believe me it matters. If you're hot you won't be on here. You'd be ripping men apart in the real world with no questions asked.

I did to. It's really sad that men don't ask out more.

Because asking a woman out is sexual harassment.

So, guys who have learned this skill, how did you do it? Help out your brothers .
I'm no expert -- in fact, truth be told and as a man, I am woefully inadequate, to that particular task

The only way I knew for sure 100% that she cared for me that way was when she told me herself, straight-out verbally...would be kinda nice if more women could feel free to say and express directly and out in the open, how they feel about someone. Because in my case, if she hadn't said it, I would never have known that she cared about me romantically, and I would have inevitably lost her love and affection...
