Hey Mufasa, thanks Bro! I just like being patted on the back. 
Really, (and I apologize in advance if I’m reading your question wrong) I think that if you want to see if there’s more to a woman’s flirting, you just have to have balls and step it up. Women have it easy in that guys will nail just about anything that has a hole and is breathing, so they, generally, don’t have to read too much to know that our playing can be true intentions. However, since in general women play it safe, we (guys) have to step up to the plate if we want to know if it’s more than just innocent. Even at the expense of feeling awkward about asking. Hope that makes sense as I realize I’m rambling.
