The other day, a girl in my friend group asked me if I'd like to go out for a drink or dinner with her this weekend. This came kinda out of the blue, because this will be only the second time we've ever hung out just the two of us. Until last time, we had only ever hung out in larger groups. I'd say we're good friends at this point but she's the friend in the group that I know the least well (I've only known her about 6 months).
The last time we hung out alone was originally intended to be dinner with her and another friend, but the other friend had to cancel. The two of us decided to go anyway and it ended up feeling a lot like a date. She texted me later that night to tell me how much she enjoyed it.
The problem is though, I can't tell whether or not she intends this next meeting to be a romantic date or just us hanging out as friends (but without the 2-3 other people in our usual group). I don't want to cross a boundary and ruin our friendship (and friend group) by making her uncomfortable by thinking it's a "real" romantic date, but I also don't want to pass up on a chance to get closer to her romantically or disappoint her because I really enjoy her company.
What do you guys think her intentions are and how should I go into this "date"?
