What intrigues me is the explicit openness to the possibility of romance. Because that gives me, as both DB Coaches have pointed out in earlier discussions, an opening as I move through "Stage 2" (Friendship) towards "Stage 3" (Courtship).
SP,
You are putting wwwaaaayyyy too much weight on her words right now, and assuming them to be reflective of her true intentions. I don't believe they are for ONE MINUTE.
This, after all, is a woman who just this morning thought you were trying to kill her boyfriend. Why are THOSE words dismissed, but these ones are somehow representative of what she REALLY wants??
Remember: try to judge her ACTIONS, not her WORDS. When the two align -- over time -- then you know she is speaking the truth.
