If it worked out ok I can't see why not. The rule of thumb here is to let her set the pace for this but the 'odd' time, sometimes you can test the water just a 'little' bit. Space this out though. Watch and take note. Don't want to seem clingy to her. If she gets cold or distant, back off gracefully. Baby steps, baby steps.
