The only way we can tell you the right answers is if you send screen shots of the convo. Cross out their name of course.

If this is who I think it is, then it’s more than flirting. Make your move. I’m ready to take this thing to the next level.

I'm not for or against it, but I think one thing to be careful of is going solely off of text based chatting - it's easy to misconstrue intentions and tone there, unless she has explicitly mentioned she has feelings for you.

Why do you assume the other person is a woman? OP didn’t mention that.

I’ve found that the safest thing to do if you think someone is flirting with you is to conclude that they aren’t.

Wait until you know if they are being friendly to build rapport on a new team, or actually flirting. There’s high risk you are misreading the situation. It’s not fair to put a new team member in the position they’d be in if you make a move right now. Be a good person and do the right thing (which right now is nothing.)
