Is she hinting that she likes me?

There's a really good girl friend of mine, who has kinda been flirting with me a lot lately. A couple days ago, a group of us were studying for finals. Eventually, only me, her, and a good friend of hers were left and I made a funny joke or something, I don't remember. She laughed and said "That's why I like you (but she said it as in like as a friend I think). You're funny." When I mentioned a movie came out on my birthday, she said that all of us should go, half-jokingly. When her friend said she probably couldn't she said "That's OK. You can take me, right? Let's go!"

Her friend had to leave, so she said "You can help me study!" and sounded excited. I helped her out and I stayed at her house for a few more hours. We talked a lot and she laughed a lot at things I said that weren't that funny and we had good conversations, and made good eye contact, too. When she's with a group of people she seems more confident, but at times she seemed shy and quiet when it was just us.

We (our group of friends) met up again a couple of days later and when we saw a sign for the movie she asked "Will you take me to the movie?" in a kind of joking way, but somewhat sincere as well. It doesn't come out for a couple weeks, but I plan on asking her, by the way. She also kept laughing at every joke I made. She said "You're my BFF!" and "You're my favorite!" and kept giving me high fives. She said "we should make a secret handshake!" and we made one. She was standing close to me a lot and seemed really nice to me.

We've been texting a lot more lately too. She always tells me that I'm funny and says I'm nice. Does any of this mean anything? Thanks!
