If at least three of the following apply to you and your lady friend, you can assume that you are in the running for a more-than-platonic future. If not, you could very well be headed for the dreaded F-word -- friends -- in which case it might be better to cut your losses and move on to a new target.
If you've managed to pass the test and meet a woman's basic interest level, you aren't necessarily home-free yet. Regardless of her attraction to you, remember that not all relationships are created equal. Women have increasingly gotten on board with the idea of taking a lover instead of committing to a relationship, making it even more difficult for men to figure out where they fit in.
So, just how does she decide whether to take you for a ride in the sack or for dinner with her parents? The easy answer would be that if she is attracted to you, she wants to have you as her boyfriend, but we all know women are much more complicated than that. Most of the factors that affect her decision have nothing to do with you and happen on a much more subconscious level than a superficial analysis of your appearance, job or personality. Take a look at the factors that come into play and find out how to spot a woman who is looking for the same thing you are.
THE DECIDING FACTORS
Her lifestyle
In choosing whether to take you as a lover or a boyfriend, a woman will undoubtedly consider how you would fit into the rest of her life. Whether she has a hectic work schedule or an active social life, she will need a boyfriend who can easily join her activities and mesh with her social circle. That being said, if she can't imagine you getting along with her friends or finding her weekend activities enjoyable, she will most likely have you tackle only her bedroom requirements rather than rearrange her life to suit you.To find out which way she's leaning, take a look at some clues she might be throwing your way.

Her last relationship
Women can be very reactionary in their dating and sexual lives; they will often choose new partners based heavily on what their last partner was lacking or how different they are from the one that came before.Recent breakups and long dry-spells can indicate that a woman is not interested in pursuing an emotional entanglement, regardless of her attraction to you. Conversely, a woman with an active dating life or a past amicable breakup is more likely to consider new men as possible relationship material.Unfortunately, without actually asking, it can be difficult to figure out if she's ready and willing to date or if she is only interested in finding someone to keep her warm at night. What a woman divulges about her relationship history -- and relationships in general -- can provide you with plenty of insight into her intentions toward you.

Her dating style
If you're still unsure about which way your relationship is headed, the best place to look for a hint is in the kind of time you spend together and how your new woman handles herself.A woman looking to explore a relationship will have a very different dating profile than one who is just on the prowl for something carnal in nature. A relationship-minded woman will plan dating activities that foster getting to know you, while someone interested in you just for what you can offer in the bedroom will want dates that allow her to showcase her desirability and make physical intimacy a top priority.

Women are complex creatures and there will always be confusion between the sexes when it comes to dating. Keeping your eyes and ears open will increase your chances of figuring out what your woman has on her mind and exactly where you fit in: her bed or her speed-dial.
