I seem to be unable to differentiate between friendliness and flirtatiousness. I'd like to hear how you guys can tell. I've been in so many situations where I assume the person is being friendly but it's not the case. Usually my friends point it out and say "You know she was hitting on you right? You're hopeless..." Anyone else go through this?

I remember not being able to recognize flirting when it happened to me, but now I find it fairly easy. Sometimes, a woman dedicates her attention to me and I notice there's some sort of eagerness that makes it seem a bit more than simply polite gesture. The obviousness of it differs of course (perhaps there are compliments or she seems really interested in what I do), but it's not so hard to pick up on. I guess the language might be just as subtle now as it was then, but perhaps the added years of social experience makes the difference. Or it could be that women around my age (30) are a lot easier to read in general than they were 10 years ago.
I still get it wrong from time to time, though. One time I was at a concert with my wife, I saw this girl who was winking at me. As I always do, I proudly beamed at my wife (then GF) telling her how that girl in the crowd over there had the hots for me. Turned out she was just having really bad facial tics.
