Hi Megatron. Welcome smile

It certainly sounds as if she likes you and is giving you the message that she is interested.

And you like her.

You are already going out together - which sounds like dating to me.

Couldn't you tell her that you want to be friends, but, if she's willing to give it a try, you'd also like to date her?
