For anyone interested, here was my original post: 

The comments on that post were very helpful, and I thank you. 

As a followup, I had sent her an email, explaining my feelings which basically were: 

- I like her
- I thought we have potential 
- I can understand / appreciate / respect her desire to take a step back. 

I also gave her an out, just in case that step back was her really wanting to end it, but wanting to be more gentle or nice. 

I asked for clarification on what "not hang out as much as we do" meant to her.

She responded by complementing my thoughtfulness and communication, but suggested that we hang out once a month as friends until she can figure out her feelings. 

Is there anyone who can interpret this for me ? ;) 

On the one hand, I'm glad she didn't take the out. I guess that means she's really still unsure, and thinks there might be some potential.

On the other hand, hanging out once a month as friends makes me sad. 
I definitely don't want to smother her or come off as clingy, but it feels pretty hard to go from hanging out at least a couple of times a week (and having the desire to hang out more and push the relationship forward) to once a month as friends. 

My plan right now is to go ahead with it for a month, maybe two, see if anything changes at all between us. If there are positive signs, great, if not, I might have to move on I think. I can't go 6 months seeing someone I care about only once a month, and treating someone I want to and have kissed as just a friend.

Is hanging out once a month as friends really the end of it, or can we go back to hanging out at least a couple of times a week if she's still

Is it possible to see a woman you care about as a friend for a while, and hope that means she still likes you?
