OK, so you made a few clangers but she was pushing you to - she's interested in you but terrified that you will do whatever drove her away in the first place.
She WANTS you to compliment her and tell her you love her but at the same time, it terrifies her.
I am a woman myself and I know hinting when I see it.
Another common reason for this type of behaviour is ownership, you were HER H so she's checking up on you to see if you are still HER H.
I remember my H asking if I had a bf when I first started DB'ing (first night I'd ever DB'ed and he asked if I had a bf!) and he also asked if I still found him attractive and kept trying to hold my hand. Of course, at that point he'd have run a mile if I'd suggested he was interested in me, it was pure OWNERSHIP ('I can't recognise this new person, she WAS mine, is she still mine? I want to brand her as mine!').
Slightly unfair of the WAS but quite predictable, esp. when they think they are so close to losing you.
I think if you carry on showing her what a positive new person you are and that you still find her interesting to talk to, you might have a good chance there.
