WCDT Strips 3650-3655 (8th to 12th January 2018)

Faye isn't doing anything to encourage it. Literally all she did here is tell them her name.
BenRG:
I think that I know how next week will go now. Or at least I'm confident that I know what theme the next week or two will follow. Here's a basic summary of how Jeph could write it:
On Monday, Faye is going to respond to Amanda and Evie's awed reaction to Bubbles in her usual flirty way: "She's somethin' ain't she? I wish I'd had a butt that good designed for me!" or something like that. The visitors will jump to a conclusion and Amanda will demand to know why Faye hadn't told her she had a girlfriend after being all upset about not knowing about Evie. Faye and Bubbles will demur immediately; they're just best friends, not SOs. Then, in the last panel, they'll both say or do something very flirty and, in the foreground, Amanda and Evie will smirk at each other.
Tuesday and Wednesday will be conversations between Faye and Amanda and/or Evie and Bubbles. Both strips will end with something teasing or flirty being passed between Bubbles and Faye. Thursday will be Amanda telling off Faye for 'stringing along' Bubbles and Evie asking Bubbles why she's trying to hide her feelings.
Friday will be Evie and Amanda heading off for the dissertation delivery at Smif, possibly with a hint being given of where they're meeting up with Faye afterwards for dinner. As they leave, both visitors say: "Tell her!"
The final panel will be Faye and Bubbles, both blushing, looking at each other sidelong. "Do you know what that was about?" Faye asks.
"I... er... no; no idea," is Bubbles' response.
traroth:
It's on.
Also: Bubbles is really cute in today's comic.
blt:
It's things like the slightly smaller "oh hello" that cement Bubbles as my favourite character.
In case I didn't already make it obvious. :)
TinPenguin:
Faye, did you forewarn Amanda and Evie about your business partner being a 'soldier robot' in order to prevent them ogling and staring? Because you might have wanted to reinforce the second part of that message a little harder.

--- Quote from: MrNumbers on 10 Jan 2018, 23:32 ---This is absolutely the start of an arc that gets Faye to ask Bubbles out isn't it? Like it just is.

What, Faye directly demonstrating that she doesn't even contemplate the idea of a female partner as a remote possibility?
--- End quote ---
No, just that she's only been dismissing the idea of male ones. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and all that.

Given that I mostly hear that logical argument used to justify reenactors dressing up in outlandishly inauthentic kit, I don't give it a lot of credence.
In general, I find speculation about Faye and Bubbles to be perfectly reasonable given various hints and teases in the comic, but I'm also keen to respect Faye's sexual identity and orientation as she has always presented it so far. Your prediction is quite possibly not far off the mark; I just see it leading to more of a 'conversation' than an 'asking out'.
