If you lack the ability to recognize nuance then yes it’s going to be an issue.

No you don’t get to ‘spare me’ on it. If you lack the ability to read social ques you will struggle more than average.

Flirting is often supposed to have this kind of effect of double meaning though. That's why you need some practice, ability to read social cues and good social skills to learn to interpret the situation, take the risks or pass and deal with the consequences. Sometimes you misinterpret things and it isn't the end of the world, you have to be able to deal with it as well.

Also I have some questions about these studies:

The first study brought together 52 pairs of single, heterosexual college students. The pairs of strangers sat alone in a room and talked for 10 to 12 minutes in what they thought was a study on first impressions. At the end of the study, the students were asked to fill out questionnaires in separate rooms. Among other things, students had to note if they flirted and if they thought their counterpart had.

In a second study, Hall had more than 250 people watch six 1-minute video clips of those interacting in the first study. Just one person was shown at a time. The third-party observers were not any more accurate in detecting flirting than those taking part in the interactions. When flirting didn’t occur, they were 66 percent accurate. When it did, they were 38 percent accurate.

I don't think 10-12 minutes are enough for people to get enough signs of interests and to realize one of them was flirting. Plus, usually flirting escalates with time.

That link you posted says men are twice as good at detecting flirting than women.

Just food for thought.
