I think I stumbled upon a woman who is into me and I'm really into her but I haven't the slightest idea how to express that beyond kinda just saying it like a dumbass. We've hung out a few times and I'm going to reach out to go out with her again but I've got no idea how to express my actual feelings for her

I've never had a girlfriend. Only women I've been with have come onto me hard and I just halfheartedly played along. Last time I was really into a girl was years ago and I fucked it up because I didn't know how to express that. I really don't want to mess this one up though. How do I go about this?

Edit: thanks for the input everyone (silly answers too). Gonna ask her to go somewhere with me this weekend and be a little bit less coy

    “Hey do you want to go out to dinner?” If she says yes pick a place that’s sufficiently datey that its clear you’re not just two friends going to eat. Then be on a date.

    If she says “sure let me invite some people” say “that sounds fun, but I just wanted to go out with you”.

    If she says “are you asking me out” say “yes”.

    If she says no, smile and say alright.

    Do not, under any circumstances, talk about your feelings. They are valid and there’s nothing wrong with em. They’re also not germane to the question “can these two people be in a relationship?” And “can the other person even entertain the possibility of that relationship?” Which are the two things you’re trying to sort out here.
