Not sure if this woman was hitting on me (31/M) or not...

So I'm at the airport the other day, just sitting and waiting to board my flight. At one point, this attractive woman (I think around the same age as me) comes up and asks if there's anyone sitting in the seat next to me. I say no, it's all hers. She sits down. I'm concentrated on reading articles on my phone, so the thought of striking up a conversation (unfortunately) never crosses my mind.

Eventually, it's time to board. People, including myself, start congregating towards the gate. A couple minutes later, that same woman gets up and approaches me.

"Is this flight going to Minnesota?" she asks.

The LED screen behind the counter said "MINNESOTA, so I thought this was a bit of a silly question, but I answered, "Yep, it is."

Again, I left it at that. And during all this, the airline attendant is calling different cabins to board.

Another minute or so passes before the woman asks one last question: "Do you know which cabin is boarding right now?"

"Uh, I believe it's [cabin number]," I answer.

"Oh okay, thank you," she replies, before heading towards the gate.

And it wasn't until way after the fact (unfortunately) that this woman might actually have tried to engage me in conversation several times, only for me to not pick up on those cues. But the truth is, I don't think I got any flirty vibes from her, and genuinely thought she wanted to clarify flight information.

So what do you think? Was this woman actually hitting on me by asking innocuous questions to lead into a conversation... or was she totally not?

EDIT: Added guesstimate of the woman's age

The difference between being right and being understood

My boyfriend and I are 28. We’ve been together for about 1.5 years and recently moved in together. He’s a pretty patient and easygoing person (Type B) whereas I’m more particular (Type A). Of course there are two sides to every trait, and my Type A nature benefits us in some ways too. Like all couples, we have differences in perspective or preference. When this happens, he will usually say something like “I disagree (with your perspective) but fine.” I tend to push the issue in an attempt to get him to understand where I’m coming from. This escalates the disagreement into a fight because he perceives it as me trying to be “right”. I truly just want to be understood (and I want to understand where he’s coming from) so I’m looking for more of a dialogue whereas he avoids conflict and just wants it to be over as quickly as possible. His general approach is “agree to disagree” but that doesn’t make sense to me when it’s an issue that will keep coming up and requires compromise. I’m n...

My (27f) gf (27f) is getting tired of me not sharing intimate/ personal info about me

I’ve always been extremely private and introverted. We have more than a year together and we’ve been living together for like 6 months, we get along pretty good and I’m really in love with her, however I can not seem to open up... and I can tell it’s frustrating to her by the way she tells me it bothers her that she feels she’s the only one committed and the one that’s always sharing... At this point I don’t even know if it is that I’ve gotten too used to it, to the point I’ve became lazy to talk about myself or give any genuine personal opinion... it sucks, really, I need to communicate better... Where do I start? Tl;dr: I can’t be completely intimate with my gf and its frustrating her, I need to communicate better because I really love her... where to start?

My (23M) girlfriend (25F) relationship is confusing to me. I might be the problem, or maybe we are just incompatible.

I met my girlfriend after a few serious breakups that led me to change both intentionally and unintentionally over a few years. For better and for worse. She had just gotten out of an engagement with a verbally and physically abusive man who had a cocaine problem. We have been together about 8 months now. We hit it off and spent a lot of time together but she began to push our relationship as if there were a time clock for milestones. I was pressed beyond my comfort zone and went with it because of my affection for her. My living situation fell apart and I lost a few thousand dollars to shit roommates right around the time she and I met and she offered to let me stay with her. I agreed with some resistance. I pay for food, help her with bills, and throw money toward rent while trying to get back on my feet. As long as we have been together she has gotten more possessive, angry, and irrational. She is dealing with shit from her engagement and I feel shes looking for a level of seriou...
