I notice so many men have trouble with this -- even men in their 60's!
If a woman is smiling, open, and friendly, they can't tell whether she is also interested in them romantically or not. (Usually they think she is, and then feel hurt when they turn out to be wrong.)
So, guys who have learned this skill, how did you do it? Help out your brothers .
I'm not a man, but IMO you can tell very easily...ask her out! If she says no, she's not interested. IMO too many men try wait until there is no guarantee of rejection, but by doing so you may be letting opportunities pass you by. What's the worst that can happen, she says no? No big deal, IMO.

They want to have a good indication of how she feels BEFORE they stick their neck out and ask her out. They want a foolproof method, a geiger counter, something, anything, to save them the embarrassment of rejection.
Well I'm close to 32 and I still haven't learned it. Even in some situations where it seemed obvious interest (to me and even to other people looking), it turned out to be nothing...
ive never had any issues with this as long as there was an established line of communication already open.
if there was ever any small doubt about how far her interest when in me, all that was needed was a simple "hey you aren't taken by any chance are you?"
Sensitive man not smart man. My guess is if she is flirty not friendly she interest. Any way flirty or friendly I just ask her out and I know for sure.

I agree. Nobody bats a thousand in such situations, and you don't know unless you ask. Nobody digs being turned down, but at the same time they should be able to roll with it. Building it up in your head and hanging your whole sense of self-esteem on it doesn't help.

it's impossible. a pipe dream. you will never, i repeat, never be able to consistently tell whether it is friendly or romantic.
some women are shy. some women are social butterflies. you do your best to figure it out; it really isn't any more complicated than that.
