Another question on love, i just put it in the wrong category lol but opinions and advice please?

there is this girl that i know that lives in my development. were both college students but we go to different colleges. so anyway, right off from the back, i liked her and we used to talk and text all the time. staying up late talking on the phone and texting each other through the day. i would go to her house at night and spend time with her and we were really bonding as friends. since i have never been in a relationship (im 21 and she's 20) i didn't know about the rules of flirting that you were not supposed to push your feelings on another person. I didn't do it on purpose I just like her alot. well, by me doing that she said that she needed a little time to herself and I do and she respects me for respecting what she asked :) it's all very weird because she can see herself dating me but for some reason won't and that might be because she is afriad of commitment (she told me herself) and she wanted to just spend time and enjoy herself without the pressure of being with a guy and losing her freedom (shes been dating since she was 15 so i can understand that) im not sure what to do because i miss talking to her and all and i really want to be with her, more than anything. I told her that the next time we bring this up should be when she is ready and that i want her to bring it up so now i"m just letting her have her time and when she is ready, i will be there. is that good? opinions and advice, please and thank you :) p.s. hopefully she will come around because im not like most guys in the world today.
