Wow what does it mean if the baristas/staffs said all that?

So in Lavelle Road area of our city Bangalore in India where I frequently go and is very cosmopolitan and upscale, there is this Cafe named Isobel Cafe where I often go as I love the coffee there. But there is this barista(lets call her B1) who is really cute. I am 24 and they are also 20 somethings. B1 used to smile and say Hello How are you so 2 months ago I eventually talked with her asking where she is from basically and mentioned my birthplace and hometown being Siliguri in West Bengal and she said she is from Bhutan which is close enough to Siliguri so we had a casual but short conversation asking about each other. The other female staffs too smile as I am a frequent customer. I have also seen B1 smiling and talking about me to the other female barista and both smiling and gazing at me. So today after a long time when I entered the Cafe, this another barista smiled and teasingly said "Hi welcome. She(B1) is happy that you finally came. She was missing you". Then B1 came and said me Hello How are you. I also said Hello I am good. Then she asked me "So you are from Siliguri right?" I answered "Yes". Then she asked "So what are you doing in Bangalore basically" and then I said about my MBA and then she replied Ohh wow. Then she asked "So when are you going home?" I thought she meant my home in Bangalore so I answered "At evening" but she said "No I am asking when you will go to Siliguri again?" Then I said "Oh I am not sure yet but I do visit Siliguri once in every year" and she said nice and the other barista/female staff said "I am also from West Bengal specifically Darjeeling" and I said oh wow nice. Then the conversation ended as more customers came and I went to an empty table waiting for my Latte. My Siliguri roots definitely made the conversation smoother and good as Bhutan and Darjeeling are neighbors to Siliguri. I felt so validated honestly.

@Gusman Yeah man really trying to make new friends. Just freshly done with grad school(MBA) so things feel lonely at times.

@Heroisthebest24 As I say. Don't push it. Just keep doing what you're doing and let things progress naturally.
Read the signs, then maybe ask to go for a drink or an inexpensive meal.
