It seems to me that it may be impossible to know whether someone you tell of 
the Faith to is receptive, unless they ask to be invited to a meeting.  The 
fact that they show interest when you tell them about the Faith does NOT 
necessarily indicate they are receptive.  They may be polite.  They may be 
interested in hearing about it, but not because they think it might be the 
truth.  Maybe they're interested because they've never heard of it or it sounds 
interesting.  Baha'is often assume that because someone acts interested they 
are.  I suspect it is often found that many of these people aren't receptive at 
all.  Without being a mind reader, I don't think there's any way to know for 
sure without them asking to come to a meeting.
