I've found it enormously helpful to keep in mind that everyone who's there is there for similar reasons, including the women. Straight guys have a tendency to think that women merely tolerate male horniness and don't experience it themselves. They do, and that's part of why they're there. I should add that some folks don't actively participate and have plenty of fun just getting to be naked and watching others play. So, establishing what someone is looking for is a good launching point. I think it's great that you were able to have non-sexual chats. It keeps things relaxed and fun with no pressure. Definitely continue doing that. I would also suggest simply not asking to play. I promise you, she's gonna have countless guys going through varying degrees of effort to throw themselves at her. By establishing a rapport and not adding the pressure of a hookup like every other guy is doing, you not only set yourself apart, you also empower her with the ability to choose you if she wants.
Of course, she could also end up thinking you're gay and not make a move. That's a potential hazard, and has happened to me once or twice. but odds are if you're having a decent conversation in a bathhouse and you ask what she's looking for, odds are you'll also get an opportunity to talk about your own proclivities. It's also a good idea to maintain the expectation that she is NOT there by herself and likely has a primary male partner and is in an ENM situation. There are single women who venture there solo, but they aren't as common.
The fact that you're willing to have actual conversations with these women instead of standing there staring while silently jerking your semi actually already puts you a level above the others. Just gotta get your nerves relaxed.
