<human>: A little background - So there's this girl at my work and she's pretty cute. We're both 20. I got the chance to hang out with her for a few hours, and realized she's also quite interesting. That more or less being the formula, I decided to go for it and ask if she wanted to hang out outside of work sometime.

She said yes, and we started trying to plan out a time to meet. However, I heard through the grapevine she might be seeing someone. Realizing my initial proposal may have been a bit ambiguous, I let her know that I was asking her on a date. She told me she was in fact seeing someone and she still wanted to hang out albeit not in a date setting.

I said that that would be fine. Since that time we've been going back and forth looking for a good time to meet up, but we live pretty far apart and both have pretty packed schedules.

Today she came up to me and initiated our now weekly 'when are we gonna hang out?' conversation. Eventually we decided on getting dinner together next Saturday.

Here's the thing about that. When she first told me she was seeing someone, it was after I asked her to get dinner with me. She told me she didn't think her SO would comfortable with that. Since that time though she hasn't mentioned him once. I even asked her how her Monday was (Valentine's Day) and she made no mention of him. Short of flat-out asking her I have no solid way of determining what her status is with this guy.

So what do you think? Is she still with this guy? Is she interested? Is this a 'friend date'? Should I pay for dinner?

And yeah, I know I'm getting a little ahead of myself putting so much thought into this already. But I dunno, she's a cool girl. I can count on one hand the number of girls I've been this interested in in my life. So I figure, why not see if I can handle this the right way?

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Guy asks girl to dinner, girl seeing someone, guy and girl still want to hang out anyway. Girl suggests getting dinner, guy unsure of girls relationship status, guy seeks advice.
