Does she like me and should I tell her that I would like us to move forward?

I’ve been dating a girl I met on Tinder for over two months now. We’ve seen each other about 10 times, and I really enjoy her company. I’d like things to move forward, but I’m getting mixed signals.

On our second date, we spent 5 hours together over wine, kissed multiple times, and texted each other daily after that. On our third date, she invited me ice skating, and I gave her a flower, which I thought she liked. She invited me to a coffee shop afterward and paid the full bill.

Since then, we’ve had a lot of study dates and recently went out for a drink at her favorite bar. I bought her an expensive flower to show I enjoy her company. However, during that date, she told me she had never been in a serious relationship before (her father didn’t allow it until she was 18) and mentioned a past crush on a guy from university, then asked if I was jealous. When I said I wasn’t, she said she thought I might be. We had fun on a walk after, but she made fun of the first flower I gave her. We held hands, but when I tried to kiss her, she turned away. She then texted me that she was grateful for the flower, and I told her I was confused about why she made fun of the first one. She said she has a specific sense of humor and will be more careful next time.

We’ve planned another date for coffee soon. I’m considering telling her I’ve developed feelings for her, but I’m hesitant because of the mixed signals. Should I express how I feel, or should I wait? I’d really appreciate any advice.

I think it might be a better idea to stop dating her. She seems hesitant, inexperienced, and unsure of what she really wants. Personally, I wouldn’t pursue anything with a girl who turns away when I try to kiss her. Unless you were in the middle of a fight or she had some other explanation for it (being sick, for example), this is a clear sign that she isn’t really interested.

Yeah, and it shows:

If she'd had any experience with dating, she would know this was a dumb thing to say to you. She doesn't sound mature enough for a relationship, OP. You would probably find yourself dealing with things like this a lot.

I would take this as your cue that she isn't actually on the same page. She's inconsistent and that would be frustrating. 

My suggestion is to take a pass on this young lady.
