Okay,

I feel a little better about this situation. I like that you feel like good friends. Does she feel the same? I suspect she does. Maybe she is fence sitting some, but from what you wrote, I think she's being cautious, but it is moving a positive direction. So, ride this out...low expectations, be yourself, enjoy what you do have with her, and see where it goes. You've taken her worst...so seeing where this goes shouldn't be so bad. \:\) Good luck.
