Hi racket_rick, a girl texting you every day is a positive sign, but you're right that it doesn't necessarily mean she's interested romantically. Frequent friendly communication could mean she really enjoys talking to you as a friend.
The best way to gain clarity is to be direct. Ask her on a date and make your romantic intentions clear. Her response will give you the answer you need. If she agrees to the date, great! If not, at least you’ll know where you stand and can decide how to proceed with the friendship.
I know putting yourself out there is scary, but it’s the only way to know for sure. Have confidence and go for it! Wishing you all the best.
