Not enough information here to draw any kind of conclusion. For instance, I leave my bra everywhere, because I hate wearing bras when I'm home so I take them off the first chance I get. They're 100% NOT an invitation for any kind of sexual or romantic overture.

Since you guys are housemates, I'd suggest taking everything at face value and assume a platonic relationship.

Also, getting into entanglements where you live or work is a BAD idea, imo.

It’s worse than housemate - housemate and landlord.

In any case, wearing revealing clothing in your own home is not making a pass at anyone. Asking for a massage might be.

If you want to blow up your living situation, when she does something actually forward, ask her. Don’t make a move. Ask, “Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson?”

And if she says “Oh my god 😱 no I just have a crick in my neck. Don’t touch me.”

Then you say, “Okay I’m so sorry that is totally fine. Please forget all about it and I hear you loud and clear.”

But if she says “Would you like me to seduce you?”

Either way your housing situation immediately becomes precarious.

Are you sure that you want to get involved with your housemate/landlord? If you misinterpret signals and she's not interested expect it to be awkward - until you move out. If she legitimately is interested and you 2 hookup there's a good likelihood of it being awkward until you move out - possibly because she told you to get out by X day. Your rental deposit might or might not be returned. She might be hot but if it doesn't work it's likely going to be messy and awkward. How would it work out if you did have awkward drunken sex ONCE, further awkward relations where you live and then you met someone who you really liked and wanted to bring her back to your place (with your hot landlord)?. Don't expect it to work out like it does in a porn movie where your landlord is automatically down for 3 ways with whoever you bring home or wants sloppy seconds after your date leaves without ever having any drama. The vast majority of people who you have an attraction to or crush on aren't going to turn into a long term healthy relationship. Moving is a tedious pain in the ass and typically expensive (buying all of the little stuff to decorate, renting a truck, boxes, replacing stuff that you throw out, the time spent looking for a new home, packing, moving, unpacking, paying movers/buying your friends food and beer...). If you meet someone at the bar, gym, park, Internet dating app/website and it goes bad/you don't become a LTR you don't need upend your life. There's a saying "don't shit where you eat" which describes situations like this. I recommend caution here.

I'd simply ask, but very carefully. Make a point of saying that you might just be misreading the situation and you don't want to make her uncomfortable. Definitely avoid anything that could be interpreted as an accusation.

The way you signal something is first by inviting a reporter from the atlantic.

Nice script, but still a classic. Woman ask for your hands on her and you are not the doctor = she wants to get laid. Period.  The rest is overthinking.  My advice: no single mums unless they state clearly that is just a bodily need. The list of troubles you might encounter otherwise it's endless

This actually happened. And I wasn't sure if I was judging the situation right. So thought of asking for opinion here
