Being Breadcrumbed, not Clear what this Relationship is

I'm (56/M) dating (54/F). We get along well when together, and share a lot of common interests. She's also incredibly physically attractive, and we have a great physical connection. We've also taken two trips together and while we didn't make great memories, they were fun. However, I'm far more outgoing than she is and would like to do more together. We only get together once a week, and it's mostly been that way since we started dating 10 months ago.

As a result, I'd like to still see other people, but it feels awkward because this relationship seemed to have potential, though my view on this is changing. Every time I bring up a 2nd weekly get together, she usually says no, makes it really quick, and recently has flaked a few times. Moreover, the once a week get togethers are usually just for a few hours at a time at her place. I live nearby so I just go home afterwards, or out with friends because it's usually a Friday or Saturday and she goes to bed early. The only time we've gone out of her apartment in the last month was to have dinner with one of her friends.

She doesn't go out much and I increasingly feel like I'm just a way to fill a Friday or Saturday night, while she spends a lot of her weekend days doing things alone or with her sister's family who also lives nearby. Based on the vibes I've gotten, I don't think she would like to hear I'm dating other people, but at this point she's breadcrumbing me and I'm willing to end it if she can't get together more than a few hours per week. Curious what others here think.
