How do I hint to my gay friend that I have a crush on her?

Anonymous
My friend took me out for my bday and I told her I wanted her to flirt with me ( we’re both bi and had been drinking ) and she said she hadn’t flirted before bc she tried to respect my relationship. Then she quickly said “bet” and said I was so fucking pretty and that my laugh was really cute. After that night she said flirting with friends was something she did and we agreed to be friendly. We started joking about how to pronounce a word and I called her out for mispronouncing and she stared into my eyes and kept smirking. I looked away. Then I kicked her out to go home because she kept lingering and staring while we were teasing each other.
Last week she kept making dirty jokes and was like “I have a small mouth” then she laughed and said she was being crass. Also I told her my ex texted me and invited me over and she kept insisting he wanted to try something with me. She was like “he wants to invite you over to watch movies. But he wants to make a movie with you.”
When I broke up with my boyfriend she brought alcohol over but she invited another one of our work friends. As she was leaving and kind of drunk I told her that my dog loved my boyfriend and she was like “well now he has me”.
Last week she kept saying her knee hurt and kept complaining. I jokingly got annoyed and asked what she wanted me to do and she was like “I want you to fix it” ( her knee). I joked I might accidentally flash people and said happy birthday and she said “early birthday gift for me” and laughed. Also we accidentally touched hands and she was like “I can’t believe our hands just touched” our other friend got uncomfortable and my friend implied that she was only joking after our friend said she was uncomfortable. Today was a work event and I joked how I should invite my ex because he’s Latin and we had Latin night. She made a rude face and got quiet and was like “you’re about to get got” then laughed and I said “what” then she said was like “clocked”. Why does she act like this?
