A question for those on the autism spectrum, do you have a hard time deciphering what flirting looks like?

Living with Aspergers as an adult, I misread things a lot. For example, I was drawing at Starbucks today and a woman my age came up to me complimenting my artwork. She mentioned that she plans on doing computer work for the rest of the month at this location and she wondered how often I come here, hoping to see me again. She seemed very bubbly and completely genuine. We shook hands, finally introduced ourselves and after the conversation ended she smiled again and said “See you around!”

My instinct is to assume that she just really likes my art and wants to see some more of it next time. But the other part of me thinks that she was flirting. I really have no idea. Has anyone else been in this kind of situation?
