I don’t want to rush her but I’m completely in love with this girl.
This last June I picked up the phone and called a friend I went to high school with... I literally hadn’t seen or spoken to her for 12 years. We went out for drinks and since then we’ve been spending time together at least once a week (maybe a little less), having dinner together and things like that. I recently told her that I really like her and asked if there’s any chance that maybe she felt the same... here’s what she wrote back to me in an email...

I am still a little bent out of shape from the last break up (which was in May) and I am probably not ready for any type of commitment right now. I know that we don’t know one another that well, but I do enjoy spending time with you. So for now, I would just like to enjoy one another’s company and get to know one another better. If all goes well, I may be in a better place to like someone and be in a committed relationship.
But you don’t have to be sorry for asking that question or wanting an answer. I think that you deserve to have an honest answer and that is really the best insight that I can give you right now. As you know, life goes in crazy directions all of the time and perhaps things could change tomorrow.
Well, let me know what you are thinking about my thoughts and your thoughts and maybe we will come to some type of understanding.

I wrote her back telling her I understand and said that for now I’ll just take her last email as a solid "maybe". All that was about 2 weeks ago.
Since then we’ve had dinner together twice (once at her house and once at mine) and recently she’s started calling me almost on a daily basis but we haven’t spoken a word further about a possible relationship.
Based on the response she sent me and 2 weeks ago, the dinners since then, the phone calls, etc... I really don’t know what do at this point and I’ve been trying to gauge just what "exactly" is going on here. I’ve picked apart her email trying to read between the lines but I’m still unsure of how she feels.
So my question is... should I just relax, not make any moves, play it cool and wait it out... see what happens? Or possibly take my chances and attempt to kiss her goodnight the next time I’m with her? Something else entirely?
I don’t want to rush her and I’ll wait as long as it takes... but the bottom line is that I’m completely in love with this girl.
