| Ok so I got this girl's number two weeks ago. She told me she had a boyfriend, which of course I didn't believe. I flirted with her, asked for her number, which she rejected, but said that if she did not have a boyfriend, she totally would have.
I see her again later on that night, flirt with her a bit more, she gives me the number, and is texting me by the end of the night on her own.
Anyway, we've been texting off and on for about two weeks now, I invited her out once at the very beginning, which she declined. In the last few days (3 or 4), we've REALLY been stepping it up. Whereas before we texted maybe one or two texts per day on average, we're texting usually like at least 5, sometimes as high as like, 20.
I'm pretty sure she actually has a boyfriend - she's given me specific facts (we met on New Years, he's 32, his name is Chris) - but she seems pretty neutral about him. She likes him, but she's also still not really sure about him (they've been dating for 2.5 months). On the other hand, me and her have been texting about a lot of shared interests, she told me she likes how I'm well dressed, and she said that we have a lot in common.
I asked her if she liked Thai food, and she said she's never had it, and wants to try it. I invited her out to show her a Thai place and go thrift shopping with her (another mutual interest of ours).
Her response was "That's starting to sound like a date"
Now, I'll be perfectly honest - I DO want to fuck this girl (and she's certainly aware of that fact, though we've never expressed it explicitly), but she also seems cool and I'd be fine with befriending her too (though if her and her BF broke up, we'd almost certainly fuck) - I wouldn't even care if she LJBF'd me (I could use more hot female friends - excellent wings, and it isn't like I don't have quite a few women available to me at any time I want).
What is the best way to approach this situation? Should I assure her we'll meet as friends only, should I make a joke about it, how should I handle it?
My ideal scenario would be for it to be a "not date" - we're just making friends, but we're also seeing if there's potential there for something else, and if there is, maybe in a few weeks, she decides she's just not "feeling it" with her old boyfriend. If there isn't, we're still friends.
How would you respond to her text?
Am I reading this situation entirely wrong?
