My senses in a nutshell: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xa-4IAR_9Yw

I met this girl at work. She was seeing someone else from work at the time. I liked this woman a lot but i didn't want to shit where i eat. We worked together for 6 months, after which I left the company.

Another 6 odd months later, I was at the beach chilling, run into her. She looked sad. I asked her about her partner to which she said they broke up. I'm not the best pacifier so i asked her to take care of herself (mincing words). I texted her later that i didn't mean to bring back the memories she was trying to distance herself from. I invited her out for drinks and live music.

She said she'd love to but she didn't join. Texted me later that she was too tired (which later turned out to be ultimate sadness). She agreed to join for another performance 2 weeks later.
We met, had a few drinks.. i did most of the talking... made her feel better (i'd done my homework on her breakup through sources but of course she didn't know that). I knew the exact words to console her. The night ended, we went home.

2 weeks later, she invited me out for drinks.. this time she was quite happy, relaxed, in a romantic mood (she was laughing, said the moon looked beautiful). We decided to bar hop, the first place was her recommendation, we spoke about random stuff..she was listening all along. The next place was a speakeasy, more like her vibe... where she got really comfortable.
By this time she was quite comfortable with me placing my hands on her lap and around her during the conversation. While bringing the night to a close, i said something about breakups to which she cried bitterly and hugged me tight (2-3 times). We held hands and walked before heading home.

The third time, i invited her out to another place, this time i was being chivalrous (opening doors etc.). We went to a bougie place.. which we'd talked about. We got some drinks and were listening to live jazz. She was leaning into me and making conversation about random stuff and getting to know her more. She said she enjoyed the music and the place. After that, we went to another place where I told her outright, i did most of the topic and i'd love to learn more about the real you. She said she liked to listen and hence let me talk. But i told her i wanna get to know you. Now this is the part where it gets tricky, she was being concise about an exchange semester she had taken in college which i wanted her to talk about candidly. I had to nudge her. However, she was sharing some intricate details all along so she was not withholding on purpose. She talked, i nudged her in the right direction. And then it got to a point where i made her confront her inner thoughts and emotions. She said she'd never done that and she felt uncomfortable not in an unpleasant way but feeling vulnerable i suppose. The night ended, we took a cab, she dropped me at my place, insisted i step out on her side (it was a parking lot), we hugged and then she left.

Now when i text her in between these meetings, her responses are not frequent. I don't really know her texting frequency and style. When she does text, she responds whole heartedly. No reservations whatsoever. However, she post stories on Insta (private profile, i cant see because i don't follow her because i don't like to use Insta) so i know she uses her phone. But not responding to messages is something i'm not used to.

Now, i don't know if should shoot my shot.. is she really into me?
