That is so great! But I know the 'why couldn't you have said this before?' feeling, or the 'you're so fake' feeling.
Definitely make her fight for you.
When Andy said the same thing to me and I showed interest, he darted like a frightened rabbit.
I'm personally not interested anymore in having him pursue me or the other way around, but you've been at this for less time than me so I think you should try it, go slow and make her earn your respect.
