Yes we can be friends lust is a powerful drive but it can be controlled. Shut off that monkey brain and understand we are all human a relationship in a platonic sense with a woman is still the same base as with another man etc.
It’s a gut feeling, you can tell by the social cues that someone is into you. Just like the feeling you have when someone is not into you, when you see it you can tell.
Can they? Sure. Do they? Mostly not. Whether you think its right or wrong, men receiving attention from a woman is almost universally interpreted as romantic interest.
When she walks up to you, whispers in your ear “Coat Closet” and presses her panties in your hand. Then you at least know she’s DTF, if not romantically inclined.
Long answer: Yes, but some women and men can’t be just friends. It’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t think men and women can be just friends, then you can’t.
If a woman invites me over to hang out, and we do hang out for a while…then later she announces she’s taking a shower, then yells from the shower she needs me to bring her a towel because she forgot and I bring her that towel and to receive it she flings open the curtain, I would understand that a a clear signal…
Playing with my arm, playful flirting, laughing at my jokes that are clearly not that funny. The staring oh man the staring. It’s really nice when you know she has high interest, it makes it really easy. You just know when you ask for the number she’s gonna give it to you. Your not nervous at all because she’s has clearly indicated interest
I don’t entertain any signal beyond “I’m interested in you”. Maybe saying “Let’s hang out sometime” referring to only two of us is a pass and even that tracks back into directly telling the intentions during that date, otherwise it’s friendly meeting. Of course I’d treat them the same way if I’m interested in them, I don’t expect something from the other side that I wouldn’t do.
If these aren’t the case I’ll default to friend or acquaintance. That way I had a good amount women friends so answer to your second question is “yes”.

When she gives me her hourly rate, I know I’m in.
when she lets out a wolf whistle and cat calls, that’s a pretty clear sign.

When you look at me by mistake

She goes out of her way to talk to you un rushed , regardless of what’s she is Doing at that time
If she says yes when I ask her if she’s interested in me romantically. Seriously, I don’t do signals.
I dunno
“I am interested in you”
Otherwise I assume friends
When she slides over…
She isn’t
She sucks my cock and buys me flowers
I’m not interested in signals.
She tells me.
When she asks me on a date.
Signals? What? Where?
The problem with women’s signals is that they’re like smoke signals while I’m fluent in braille.
>Can women and men just be friends?
Short answer: Obviously yes.
Long answer: Yes, but some women and men can’t be just friends. It’s kind of a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don’t think men and women can be just friends, then you can’t.
Women are… Sending me signals?
“I like/love you”
Something like this I guess? Never dated so no clue
When she looks at me like 😐 and not like 😐
Talking about how close we are without ever mentioning being friends. Sitting close to you. Lots of eye contact. Physical touch too.
Personally? Nothing, there is no signal that isn’t 1000 other women’s just being friendly.
I’m not interested in signals per se but if she’s approachable (smile, eye contact, warm and inviting) then I feel more inclined to talk to her.
Maybe she’s from Canada and just being polite.
unprovoked yet repetitive eye contact, touch, laughs @ anything u say that may not even be funny but u framed it like it was 🤷🏼♂️
To me signals are not interest. Either be obvious about attraction or I don’t care

About 15 years later.
Everything. They’re all in love with me
Of course, they can just be friends.
I can pick up on some heavy-handed flirting, but it has to be really heavy-handed, unless it’s in a context where I’m looking for it.
Of course, I’d rather be asked out directly, but I get why that’s a risky move one might not want to make.
If my fiancee hadnt told me straight up that she liked me I would probably still be single.
overt touches, laughing when i say something even mildly amusing, close eye contact. They find excuses to run into me or be around me.

I’ll consider the possibility when she shows up for the second date.
I’ve been around long enough to know women just aren’t interested in me romantically.
