i don't think you should push for the R talk yet... and i also am not part of the group that thinks fear is holding her back... i don't see her as the Princess coming out of the castle and then running back in... i have never thought that... but i could be wrong... anyway--i am enjoying reading your exchanges with her... if you see her while she is gardening on Saturday, perhaps at some point, you can suggest a movie or a restaurant... and you can even suggest going together on an upcoming weeknight... see how she responds...
