I've worked with a woman for about 6 months now. We get along well, but are both very reserved personalities. She's divorced 2 kids, I am single no kids. She's made comments to me in the past few months that made me think she wanted me to ask her out. She's also shared a decent amount about her personal life and confided in me about things about work and asked me not to share them with others. Whenever we are in a 1 on 1 meeting it usually lasts twice as long as it should as we talk about non work related things.

I thought she may like me more than a colleague, but since she is my coworker I didnt want to make things uncomfortable or even risk my job by asking her out if I was wrong.

Well last week she texted my personal phone in the middle of the day asking if it was me (I had talked to her on the phone once or twice previously, never texted). I said yes, and she told me her trip the next day got cancelled (due to snow we live in a northern state). She asked if we could push our meeting up a day. I said sure, and made a small joke. I asked her about the weather a bit, she said it was pretty bad. She then explained she just left a customer site and had an hour and a half drive back. I told her to be careful. She sent me a pic of the roads and told me she made it back to our city to which I replied that it was good she had no issues. TBH Ive never told a coworker about making it safely back like that.

I figured that was it, but then she forwarded me a message she got from our client at 930pm that their offices were closed the next day due to weather. She said in case I needed to let my coworkers know...

At that point we texted back and forth about personal things (but nothing you wouldn't share with a friend) until almost 1030pm.

I spoke with her on Friday last and she didn't act any differently after we had texted. She did text me a funny meme during our meeting though. At the end she told me to have a good weekend which I took her meaning she didn't plan to talk to me until next week.

I really like her, so I feel like I may be wanting this to be more than it is. But she texted me over 30 times that day (and I sent her almost as many back). I've never had that kind of interaction with a coworker before.

Tldr; Coworker started texting me, and I wonder if she is wanting to be more than friends.

Probably. She went out of her way to find your phone number (to which I find an issue).

No she already had my number, I had given it to her almost 2 months ago when she needed help with something when I wasn't in the office.
