Why is she asking me these questions?

No

I'm very confused. Following situation:

I know a girl at work who I find very attractive. Unfortunately, I'm not empathic enough to draw empathic conclusions, but only draw my conclusions on a logical level.

I'm responsible for IT support at my work and had to set up a laptop for this girl because she was supposed to do certain seminars using Zoom. At some point I had to replace this laptop with a worse model and that's when the first strange questions started.

When I was about to go back to work, she asked me briefly in the corridor whether the laptop also has a button that you have to press to open the lid. (The previous laptop had that, she had the laptop in her hand at the moment) Ok, so far everything is fine. That can be anything. From laziness to what I know.

But it went on. At some point I met her again and we had tea together in her department. When I was about to leave, the question came up whether the laptop actually has an AUX connection. Another strange question.

But today was the highlight of everything. I invited her to my office for tea today and she had to copy something. So she asked me if I could explain how our copier works.

This is very mysterious to me because she is very intelligent and has such technical devices at home and uses some of them every day to watch Netflix. These questions seem already answered to me, it seemed to me as if she already knew the answer, because she could have looked at any time. Our copier is also self-explanatory and so far not a single person has really asked me how it works. It's a mystery to me, but I want to stop interpreting. Why do you think she should ask me these questions?

I'm empathetic, but the whole thing also seems a bit mysterious to me. It could be that she is just waiting for you to start flirting with her and with her questions she is just looking for a reason to talk to you.

On the other hand, as a man, you have to be careful with whom you are flirting these days, otherwise you will have a sexual harassment complaint in no time at all.

Better keep your hands off this girl. Because even 5 year old children can quickly find out how to open a laptop, and even a 10 year old can find out in no time whether the laptop has an AUX connection.

No

That's just it, I know she's intelligent, so it's all the more mysterious

Maybe she's just looking for reasons to start a conversation and she likes you.

No

Our conversation just doesn't start with that. Basically, I'm the one who takes the initiative and therefore usually leads and starts the conversation. She asked me these questions twice when I was about to leave and once when we made it out anyway that she would come over. This is not logically understandable for me

Yes, weird.
