How do I tell if a woman's affection is genuine?

I doubt the woman I'm talking about is trying to use or manipulate me. She's a female friend a few years older than me who knows I've never had a girlfriend or even a first kiss. How can I tell if this is out of pity?

I still remember a bunch of things that a girl said to me which was just a bunch of garbage. If only you knew. She can act affectionate with you but then when you do it’s a problem and she’s not interested in you anymore like she constantly acted like it
