That being said, there was increased openness/vulnerability on your part. It is NORMAL for the other person to withdraw a bit. YOU did the same thing when you first got the email from her. There is some amount of emotional distance between the two of you that you are both comfortable with, say it is 10 units, but it really needs to be at 3 units for a strong M. She moved toward you one unit, so you moved away one unit at first, maintaining the status quo. Then you adjusted, saw her one unit and raised her one. So she backed away. This will go back and forth as you seek new equilibriums while inching closer together.
