Does this count as a date?

Met a girl at meetup event, within minutes she said i should take her number down. She said it a second time and i did. She later asked if we wanted to go out for coffee sometime i said sure. She said how about today and we went for a coffee after the event.

I was nervous, never been on a date before, im autistic. She asked about my past relationships, i asked hers in returned she mentioned she was in a long distance relationship.

I never understood why she singled me out and wanted to spend more time with me. Was she looking for a boyfriend?

Anyway she thanked me over text message after i left and i returned the gesture.

Two days later she is texting me again - asking how i am. I am panicking. If it is dating, i have no idea ahat im supposed to do.
