I (m24) have met this girl (f 19) through friends of friend. I have always had anxiety approaching women with the intention of dating the only times i was able to do it was either if the girl approached or through dating apps. She has often reached out to know where I was (at first I thought that it was because she was bored and needed company)

She’s quite a touchy person and last Tuesday we basically almost got to hold hands and she has grinded on me at a club.

The next day a person who introduced each other jokingly asked if I flirted with anybody at the club to which I jokingly answered that I flirted with her but she didn’t reciprocate, to which she blushed; later asked me how her hair looked to which I answered that she always look hot (I have a joking attitude so most time people can’t tell whether I’m serious or not ).

After that we went to eat with other friends and found her staring at me with a smile (I wasn’t saying anything as I was a bit drunk and kind of dissociating) after I made eye contact and saying what she blushed and shrugged it off.

This is only some of what I’ve noticed but being new to this stuff it’s kind of overwhelming. I was thinking about asking her out but I’m afraid that those signals are all in my head

What do you think I should do?
