Post Need an outside perspective people!

Hi all. I'll try and keep this short!

Basically, 4-5 years ago me and this girl became very close and she was infatuated with me, we went out for a very brief while but I had personal problems and ended the relationship, she was devastated, and has told me since that she cried for months afterwards. We didn't speak for 6 months and it was very awkward.
Fast forward to today. The last few months I began speaking to this girl regularly again, exchanging phone calls etc.. then we went for dinner to a nice restaurant and as I hadn't seen her in a while it was quite polite and formal. Then, few weeks after we went to a theme park, which we both loved, had a fantastic time together, and it felt just..right, being playful together and laughing constantly.
Then, yesterday I saw her for the 3rd time, going for a picnic at a nice spot in the country, then watching a film at her house.

Now, here comes my dilemma. She seems interested if you look at her body language etc. and I understand if she's playing hard to get as she was so hurt last time we got close, but what is going on? Does she actually like me, or is it just friends? Do girls go to dinner and picnics with old old ex's? Should I just ask her what's going on, I feel like an idiot trying to imagine making a move on her, but I can't keep going out to places with her if I don't know what the result will be. What should i do?

P.s i'm seeing her again this week and i really need to find out!!

Thanks so much for reading, I know it's not the most entertaining story, but it means a lot if you have any ideas at all!

Ciao
Mark

The only way to find out is to make some passes at her.

Just touch her, caress her hair, touch her arm, her jewelry, etc. Tell her sweet things.

See how she reacts.

Based on your history with her , if your current interest is re-establishing a relationship with her seriously , I think you should have a converastion her about your current interest , and how does she feel about it . By going out with you , she's interested but she's been hurt in the past by you . Perhaps , taking it slow , continue to go out , have fun together , getting to know each other again , showing her your sincere efforts and interests in her .

Yep she's interested.

Sounds like you've played her well! Get much side-action during the 6 months apart?

Yep, she's interested. I think she probably hasn't gotten over you.
