I think she'll say, "I don't know", also. In which case you are still in the original spot following bomb. The rope should already be on the ground and should stay there unless she's tugging on the other side. I wouldn't phrase it as, "it's now your decision", because that says you're available whenever her other options are exhausted (and yes, I agree, she probably is playing the field looking for the best available option and you are her fallback plan). I don't know exactly how I'd word it, but I would lead her to understand that you intend to keep moving forward with your life in the positive direction it's going and it may not necessarily always include her.

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed.
