@cornelljdav,
Well then, it seems you asked and she answered, so I am not sure why you would come to a forum and ask a bunch of strangers what something she said means.
But in any case, you seem to be taking the right approach. You should not have to wait forever for her to decide whether or not she can move forward with a relationship with you. So good for you for realizing that and giving her a deadline. The real key is that once the deadline passes, move on and leave her alone.
