You could just let things happen or you could ask her if she’d be interested in dating you and then you’d have your clarity. I don’t think assuming she is insecure or needs this or that is going to get you anywhere. If a man liked me in a romantic way, I’d like to know up front so I’d either reciprocate or put a stop to it. I’d not want someone to agonize about me or analyze me why I smiled or what I liked erc or me unknowingly leading him on.

A woman is going on dates. It means she’s open for dating.
