10 points best detailed answer need help!?

So I'm friends with this girl and we're very close, I told her 6 months ago that I liked her but she said she didn't have time to date me (works 3 jobs including med school and nursing) and she got out of a 5 year bad relationship in which she was physically and mentally abused. I understood but persisted my advance for more than just friends until I realized she was with another guy she didn't tell me about, but they weren't dating just dating, no sex. I stoppee talking to her because I felt I ruined the friendship and was lied to, I felt worthless. So I got over it and after 5 months I texted her drunk and she was very happy I texted her. We been talking (as friends) I hungout with her twice the first week then I decided to step it up and took her to NYC to a very nice restaurant and we had a great night drinking. She was smiling playing with her hair touching me a lot which never usually happened. Ever since we been texting all day everyday and she is way more enthusiastic about our conversations and we hangout everytime I ask. (before she'd be busy or ditch me) only thing is I text her first all the time but she always thinks she's bothering me if she texts me so idk. She's been talking about how much she can't stand guys and realized so much about men wanting to get in her pants and don't like her for her and her ex bf being a douche bag. She's 21 and I'm 20 so she keeps texting me from the bar telling me how she can't wait until I'm 21 so we can go out all the time. She changed a lot toward me since we stopped talking but for the better and I told her I just want to stay friends (just to keep things on an unawkward level) so I was wondering if she likes me now or how I should go about this. She doesn't talk about boys anymore around me unless it's celebrities and doesn't refer to me like I'm one of her friends but I don't want to get ahead of myself. Help!

Also in NYC she claimed she was done with relationships for awhile but would not have a problem with sex if it was exclusive Between her and...(I feel like she was trying to open things up to me) anyway shes been telling me about her nightmares and she's scared to sleep and I tell her it's not a problem for me to "keep her company" and she said "sounds good:)" in a text but never acted on it. And I said goodnight she just said ":)"10 points best detailed answer need help!?
She wants you. Or she's pulling you along on a string. Do what you feel will make you happy. Though, most girls dont text a guy they like first because they think it's bugging them, I still act like that with my boyfriend. But her saying how she doesn't want a relationship but would be alright with a sexual exclusive sort of relationship it kinda sends a vibe of that's all she wants.
