She's nervous, because you PULLED AWAY. Classic DBing, and an indication of how WELL you did.

Let her squirm -- DON'T RESCUE. If she asks you again "what are your plans?" (and she will), just be vague and say things like "I'm learning more about what my options are," and "I'm still deciding some things," or even "I don't want to discuss this right now."

You handled it very well -- my congrats, as I know that wasn't easy.
