Reddit, I come to you with a problem I've never faced before, one that I don't know how to resolve.

I've been seeing a woman for about a month and a half, and it's been great, but I don't know if we are a couple. The topic has never specifically come up. We go out on average one or two times a week (she works early and I work a 4-10) and we text almost every day, with her saying good morning to me most of them. We get along great, can hold a conversation for hours, enjoy the quiet moments, and appreciate each other physically (though we haven't gone all the way). I tell her how much I like her, and she usually responds with telling me I make her smile, that she likes me as well, or simply trying to suck my face off. 

I met her through POF, and she listed her intent as "wants to date but nothing serious." I know a POF status shouldn't hold much water, and everything is subject to change, but I felt I should put it out there. According to her, I'm also the only person on POF she went on more than one date with.

How do I ask her if we are more than just casually dating? It's been a while since I liked someone this much, and I'm praying she likes me as much. I want to know, but I know I'm going to feel bad either way when she answers me. Either she doesn't reciprocate and I'm devastated, or she says of course and I feel like an ass. The uncertainty is killing me.

Lastly, I have an actual prompt for asking now rather than later, but I want the main post to focus on my question. If you'd like to hear why I'm asking (and I really could use advice on that too) please ask. I know I'm probably overthinking this, but I overthink a lot.
<bot>: This woman is fantastic, and I want to know how she feels about me as a partner. What's the best way to ask?
