Maybe her reaction was more like she was wanting you to choose her, which you then backed away from almost immediately. Sounds like your basic assumption was that you couldn't have her, but it also sounds like you were afraid to examine this too closely. A greater moment of intimacy might have been possible if you had really opened yourself up at that point, and let her know that it was her you want - which would have been to risk rejection. Sounds like maybe you anticipated her rejection instead of going with what her actual reaction seemed to be. Has she read PM? She's no dummy either... I bet she'd have NO trouble grasping the concepts...
