Says she's hung up on her ex....or does she just not like me?

Met this girl on a dating site...we talked for a couple of months and we seemed perfect for each other. She just ended a 3 year marriage with her high school sweetheart a year ago. When we finally met she got distant and told me she felt she wasn't over her issues with her ex and that she was rushing into things. She said all she could offer me right now was friendship. Since then we text back and forth...not as frequently as when we were heading towards a relationship. Usually its me initiating. I really like her and think she is very special. Normally I would understand a person like her having a hard time letting go of love (another thing I like about her) except her timing made me question if it was really because of her issues with the ex or if she just didn't like me and was trying to be nice. If she doesn't like me I don't want to keep bothering her trying to be her friend. I'd like to be more some day...but right now I'm happy giving her time to heal. Should I continue being friends with her or am I just bothering her and embarassing myself?
