Well, my immediate reaction is "Wow" and "Hmmmmmmm". Not sure what to tell you here. I think you played it OK, all things considered. Were I in your shoes, I'd be worried she was messing with my head (both of them ;\) )! I guess I'd let it go for now, but make sure you're in control. You might consider setting some kind of deadline for just a single statement that moves you forward and if that is not forthcoming by the end of that period, putting a stop to everything and really moving on. If you don't, I worry she might be using you and could just string you along until you're no longer needed.
