The difficulty is that a woman who really is interested in the guy would also often politely decline all his advances, knowing that she's egging in on in some other way. It's how people flirt.

If a woman says no, how can you distinguish "really no" from "I like being chased, more please"? PC people will claim it's always the former, but actual couples often got together in the latter way.

Because it's pretty damn obvious when someone doesn't like you versus when they are being playfully coy. If you can't tell then just back off and assume they are not interested. Because if you can't tell then they are probably not interested.
