Too forward

Ok so I recently started going on the apps and stuff and I think I’m a little too forward as a girl but I also hate the social dance of the talking stage. I’m currently texting this guy and as much as I want to be asked surface level questions (NOT) I want to meet him in person. But I feel as a woman I can’t be too forward or they’d take my interest the wrong way. Also I don’t like when all the labour of the dating (setting up dates, being the funny one, carrying the convo) falls on me. I struggle with social cues and social shit too so it’s all a mess. It’s like I can’t just say “yeah I just want a date and a kiss potentially” without being looked at differently. I feel like I might be coming off as desperate but it’s just my personality type too. TLDR: texting dude; he’s not setting up date should I go for it?
