<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Hello /r/relationships - long-time mostly-lurker.

I currently go to a business (we'll say it's Joe's Gym) 2-3 times per week. At Joe's Gym, there is a receptionist, who we'll call Kerry.

When I sign into Joe's Gym, Kerry always greets me with a friendly, "Hello, $X person", sometimes with a "Glad to see you here". Kerry is the only employee (that I don't know) who is openly - though casually - friendly to me. Last week, she made a point to mention her name directly to me - something like "Hey, I forgot to tell you my name, but it's Kerry."

I get the impression that she could be interested in me [and I'm interested in her], but I'm not sure if she's just being casually friendly. Further, I don't want to alienate a potential friend, and a person I interact with multiple times per week at the business, by being awkwardly flirty, when she's just being her normal self.

Does anyone have suggestions for this situation? I'm thinking the best course of action is to be more open/friendly [I think I come off as un-approachable to others] around this person, and see what happens.

Background on me: I've been in one romantic relationship in my life (~5 or 6 years ago), and I'm starting to get into dating now.
<bot>: Person I'm attracted to seems to be trying to get to know me/be friendly with me. Am I reading too much into it?
