Is it possible to build TOO much comfort with a girl?

I met this girl a while back, number closed her and have been out with her three times (2 day dates and 1 dinner date all averaging no more than an hour and a half each time). She constantly initiates texts conversations with me and is always asking me questions about myself. She's never flaked on me and just the other day she even baked me a cake for my birthday!

Now I guess one could assume that's she interested in me based on these things alone. However, in the back of my head I'm concerned that all this texting we're doing is building too much comfort and could put me in the friendzone. Is that even possible?

Before you ask, no I haven't been able to escalate physically aside from a few light touches and some hugging. I know I need to physically escalate ASAP and I intend on doing so the next time I can isolate her (movies at my place, etc.).

But what do I do about her constant texting? Should I just ignore some of her messages? Or should I always respond? I feel like if we text too much it'll kill any sort of mystery and tension between us when we do meet up. However at the same time, I don't want to kill the momentum between us....because it started with me being the one to always initiate and now she does it almost on a daily basis.

Thoughts?

You can't build too much comfort, just not enough attraction. But they aren't entirely separate entities. When a woman is comfortable and trusts a man, she is more vulnerable to being attracted to him, going home with him and being alone together. Connecting and being able to trust a man is attractive in itself. In some ways the friend-zone is a myth. Although a first impression is important, if a man ends up providing enough emotional and sexual value after the fact, her attraction to you will rise. Often the only difference between a man in the friend-zone and a man having a sexual relationship with a woman is simply the courage to sexually escalate when opportunities arise. And usually it's your job to create those opportunities (getting her alone in a private place where she is comfortable with you).

If there is one rule that you utterly have to abide by as far as women go, it's that you have to take it sexual at some point or other, or they'll get bored and get their kicks from someone else. If this girl isn't already doing that, then you absolutely need to start making her think in that way about you as soon as possible, or you can forget about doing anything physical with her at all, ever.

Being nice, hugging, light touching etc is fine, but at some point you're going to have to kiss her. In my experience you should get that monkey off your back -as soon as is possible-, or you are going to be well and truly entrenched in the friend zone, or even worse? TEXT BUDDY HELL. So go for it, steal a kiss at the START of a date, lean it, go for it, start making subtle sex references in texts or conversations, like 'hey, don't mean to take our conversation down to the gutter, but I was arguing with my friend the other day about whether he prefers it when he has makeup sex with his girlfriend, or if he does the whole romance thing. What do you think?'.

There is such a thing as 'too much comfort' in my opinion. You have to ask yourself : What am -I- getting out of this? What do I want? Do I want a friend? Or do I want a girlfriend? Take it sexual, man. Or she'll just go out and sleep with another guy when she gets horny.
