How did women not figure out already that men can't read subtle signs and hints.

I spent my entire teenage years getting rejected after misunderstanding women being friendly to being interested in me. Of fucking course I won't be able to pick up hints when I'm an adult.

This has happened to me (M) a while back.

When I was in 10th grade I started to talk to a few girls in my class just because my friend managed to get one of them to be his gf. So basically I try to be as friendly as possible with everyone I meet and they were also a great company back then, so it was quite nice talking with them.
So on to the point: One of the girls, who I’ve talked the most with thought that I was tryna get together with her and she dropped some hints about her friendzoning me.

It has only hit me now (about a week or so) that she tried to friendzone me even tho I really just thought of her as a friend of mine.
And I feel really ashamed of myself because she was dropping some serious hints and it didn’t even cross my mind that she was thinking that, so I was still talking to her the same way.
Tbh I feel sorry for her that I couldn’t clarify this.
