How to tell the difference between good female friends and women that are interested in you?

I really don't know everything already. I guess i made this post in an attempt to maybe understand the nuances between being good friends and being good friends with romantic attraction to one another.

I've tried to explain my position, but I'm sure that i didn't do it adequately.

Like i only romantically like people that i'm friends with already. I literally have no romantic interest in anyone unless i'm good friends with them already. By the time that i'm good friends with them, I've already established behaviors/mannerisms with them that could be interpreted as either having mutual interest or simply continuing on as good friends.

This confuses me because sometimes it goes one way, other times it goes the other.

I'm essantially trying to figure out whether a coworker that i like is into me. She's hitting like every fucking measure of good friend, into me, and maybe not available. It is the ultimate sort of confusing for me.
