I kind of see what you're getting at, but knowing somebody is attracted to your gender doesn't automatically mean you like them/they like you. You STILL have to go through the messy process of finding out if the other person likes you or not.
But trying to go through that messy process when it was entirely a waste of time from the beginning is a bad idea. Not just because it wastes time you could have spent trying to feel out someone that might have loved you back, but because in the process you may kill what could at least have been a friendship.
