A few days ago I (22m) made a post here: https://reddit.com/r/dating_advice/comments/bfs3gm/theres_a_girl_f19_on_my_m22_sports_team_that_i/ about a girl (19f) that I carpool to sports practice and have a crush on.

Last night she sent me a message saying she was sick, and said I could sleep in longer. She added a "haha" after this, I responded with a "haha" and told her to get well soon.

Here's where it gets interesting: she says thanks dude (which I read afterwards meant friend zone) and then I took the opportunity to prod her further by thanking her for giving me more sleep.

I don't really want to run through the rest of the conversation (unless you want me to), but by the way the responses were going, it seems like she played along. By the end everything had a double meaning... lol.

So the question I have is how do I go forward from here? This is uncharted territory for me and it wouldn't take much to screw it up.
