Alright seddit, I'm interested in hearing your opinion. There's a girl that, for some complicated reasons, I haven't formally asked out. She and I have been spending a lot of time one-on-one in date-like situations, and I've been seeing IOIs (her laughing and touching my arm, playfully hitting me, etc) and would like to hear your thoughts on what happened earlier tonight.

We were with a large group of friends at a pub. She and I had been playing a game of pool together as a team against some friends (initiated kino during that) and I won the game for us. She was impressed, things were going well. We join the main group again at the table for a few drinks, and out of nowhere a mutual friend asks her if she wants to get dinner sometime. She accepted although she didn't seem particularly excited about the offer, and had to leave soon after that.

She and I start texting after she has to go. I casually refer to what just happened, playfully joking about it as to show it doesn't threaten me. After a few texts back and forth, I dropped this as a test: "Haha well anyways have a good time. Can't say I blame him, if you were my type I'd have asked too". All of a sudden her mood changes- she replies "Interesting". I reply "Haha what's that supposed to mean?", and she replies "Idk, an interesting comment you just made". At this point she sends another text trying to downplay the significance of him asking her to dinner, saying it's probably just a casual thing and nothing important. We send a couple more unrelated texts back and forth before she goes to sleep, all of which she's replying in a noticeably out-of-character manner. Thoughts?
