Sorry if this post is too singular-person focused but I need more help on knowing WHAT to do rather than how into me she is or isn’t, so Ill give it a shot posting here anyway.

Im not that good at flirting and when girls flirt with me, I typically only realize afterwards, and this situation is a great example :

So I kinda like this girl and think we have some chemistry. We both live in the same town, and we see each other a lot because we both work in the same building, but in different stores, so I would see her a lot on breaks and stuff.

We dont really Snap / text outside of just streaks and general stuff. She always just gives off a flirty vibe around me and shes always laughing and joking around.

She will sometimes stand just a little too close or lightly brushes against me holds eye contact when one of us is talking.

She gets a lot of attention from guys but shes only ever had one boyfriend and (from what Ive been told from other sources, shes not the most confident / second-guesses herself a lot with matters like this)

Then one day she also asked me if I had a girlfriend back at school and implied that I talk to a lot of girls. She told me shes single but shes looking to date someone right now.

Anyway, I only realized she was flirting with me a few hours after that interaction so I texted her to see if she wanted to hang out and get dinner the next day, before I went back to school, but she said she had to stay home and study with her friend for a big test they had the next day.

So I still dont know what that meant. I think I wasnt clear enough that im interested and I should have asked her in person.

I thought it might be weird but the next times Ive seen her shes been pretty much the same. She said that she thinks we vibe really well together, which I thought might be a hint that I should ask again.

I just saw her again the other day and she kept asking questions about when I was leaving for spring semester, if i would be back home on weekends, etc.

So, a lot of information about this girl, I know, but i think its pretty clear that she was interested and probably still is. However, like i mentioned before, I’m real bad at flirting, turning things sexual, making the move, etc.

So, going forwards with both this girl in particular and any other girls I happen to develop an interest in, what can I do to improve my flirting game, get the date the first time and not let things drag out or have the girl start to lose interest. Thanks.
