While this would make it easier on us guys, remember that it's not the woman's job to make the advances. Women expect/deserve to be pursued, and if it means that you crash and burn a few times, so be it.

I know for a fact that the woman that I'm dating wasn't overly interested in me on more than a "friends" level until I began pursuing her. Why? Because women are more "emotionally" geared. When you first meet them, you probably aren't going to get any clear signals that they are "into" you, because they need more information about your personality before they feel that way. A woman worth having is worth working for.
