How would I know if someone’s interested or just being nice? I usually just have to assume the latter to be safe

If you’re interested in someone, ask them out. There’s no guess work if you’re straight forward.

And if you aren’t actually interested in them as a person (as in, wouldn’t want to be just friends if it turns out they aren’t interested), then don’t strike up a friendship in the hopes of it becoming something more. It’s not fair to the other person.
