IMO, this is kind of manipulative. I mean, I know this kind of stuff works with women (seems like a man who ignores her sparks her attraction to him for some reason), but is it really the path you want to take to begin a relationship? It's one thing to use these types of tactics to get sex, it's another to use them as a foundation for a relationship.
I think, when it comes to relationships, a more direct approach will be your best plan of action. You don't want to have to found your relationship on using manipulative tactics to passively see where she stands. Take the bull by the horns, and figure out a way to convey it directly without coming across as needy/clingy.
I'll warn you, though, there is probably more of a chance of rejection using this approach, but, as others have said, if she's into you, it won't matter how you approach it. If she's not, well, then at least you know not to waste anymore of your time with her.
