I observed a woman talking to a store manager today.
Here is what I noticed...
She came in the store with her hair up in a bun.
She had on a long coat to her knees.
After the manage greets her she tells him a story on this project she is building. She hint it's hard for her to cut the wood and 1) doesn't want to ask her EX husband for help.
When the two of them come back up to the counter 2) her hair is now down and she's running her fingers through her hair with her head back.
Then when the manager asks if she needs anything else she says: 3) I have a bottle of wine. 4) My kids are at my Mom's and 5) I have this on... (She steps back and shows a red night gown under her coat.
"Good for you." "Those look comfy." The manager says. Lol!!
My guess is that guys don't notice these "hints" unless they were already attracted and planning to approach anyway. If it "wasn't their idea already", it seems a woman will be unlikely to persuade him. Men aren't used to taking direction!
I have pretty much thrown myself on guys and they didn't notice. I went out of my way to talk to them, smiled, flirted, ... and they didn't notice!!!!! We started dating later on and all of them said they weren't aware for how long I was interested, they thought I am just being friendly.

See, that's the thing. We know there are women who complain because they are just being friendly while a guy might think she is flirting. So best thing is to take it like that, she's just being friendly. That woman would then have to put a little bit of effort to be as direct as guys usually are with women. I would expect a teenager to send hints and clues, clear her throat, play with her hair, etc. in hopes of having a guy take her out.
Looking back, I've missed so many I've lost count. And those are only the ones where I came to my senses later.
I've discussed a few recently. Here's some of the more egregious ones:
(in a rural town where college kids are known to escape into soybean patches to have sex)
Her: So...I'd really like to learn about soybeans...
Me: (launches into scientific definition of, and practical uses for, soybeans)
Her: ......
To my credit, I wasn't aware of the reputation of our local soybean patches, but I should have put things into context.

A neighbor below me knocks on my door unprovoked...
Her: I wanted to go see a movie tonight, but I don't want to go alone.
Me: There's nothing wrong with going to the movies alone!
Ouch.

(again, in college)
A girl from a dorm 1/4 of a mile away knocked on my door...
Her: I ran out of beer and I'm REALLY looking to get drunk, do you have any?
Me: (doesn't invite her in, grabs a beer and hands it to her) Here you go!
That one made me hate myself for a while.
