Search Results: how do i continue to go after her

The girl I really like is giving me such a headache... Many physical signs are present (eye contact, smiling, whenever laughing always looks at me even though there are lots of other people there etc etc...). But, she barely ever initiates texts.

She did wished me happy birthday first thing in the morning and initiates texts about some studying and exam stuff or when she needs help with something (her buying new phone, or watching some movie/show that I watched). Couple of times she even called me, but yet again about exam stuff, sometimes she uses voice messages. And that's all. She never initiates texts about some random stuff, which I do. I like to send her sometimes some funny memes or reels which she responds with laughing and we continue conversation for like couple of more texts and then it dies off.

I've been trying to flirt with her and compliment her over texts when she posts IG Story, she always replies positively, we again continue conversation but again dies off after couple of texts.

What do you think, should I just continue initiating conversations and go stronger on teasing her and flirting, or she just isn't interested...

P. S. I know I should invite her out on a date, but she is out of town for next month or so and I don't want to risk making a fool out of myself if she isn't interested as we are part of a same friend group.

I went on a date with a girl and found out she’s working here as an au pair. She’s a great girl, but since her contract is only for a year, and she’ll be gone after a year, I don’t see a long term relationship possible for us. However, she’s quite attractive so I want to continue taking her out to sleep with her, while I keep looking for a long term partner. Is that an asshole move or ok? I believe she is looking for a relationship.
