I recently joined this academy. A couple days later these 2 girls approached me. Complimented me on my communication skills. We went to eat out, exchanged numbers. One of the girl has been texting me regularly from the past 3 days.

Yesterday we were texting and she asked me if I was single, i told her I was. Again complimented me saying she thought I might be committed because of how smart and intelligent I am lol.

I just said not yet/haven't given much thought about relationships. I said we should hang out more, she gave a positive and enthusiastic reply. Then I jokingly asked if she wanted to take me on a date, she said sure, if you'd like to. I agreed. So we're going out today and this Saturday.

I think she's into me and even I would like to date her.

How to escalate smoothly?
