I too am pretty much in the same boat as you. I was introduced to this girl a few weeks ago from an acquaintance of mine when we went out clubbing. Well all in all we hit it off after a couple dates so I decided to ask her to be my gf. She sorta gave me a half arse rejection saying that "She doesn't go out with anyone that is friends with her cousin(The girl that introduced me to her)". So I questioned her logic about that and she couldn't give me a straight answer so then she gave me another reason "I'm not ready to date anyone I just broke up with my bf about a month ago after a 4 year relationship". I told her I could understand that but not the cousin thing so I took it as if she rejected me. So anyways I stopped talking with her and hanging out with her as much and now all of a sudden everyday she calls me at lunch time and sends me pictures of her while I'm at work. I decided to play hard to get and said I've been going out with this chick I was introduced to from a friend (which did happen) and I think she starting getting jealous. She told me how she removed all the guys from her buddy list except for me and how I should find a girl. Now I'm not sure if she has started taking an interest in me or is she just being a good friend.
She really did probably NOT want to get into another relationship. They CAN be restricting (if only psychologically), and may not be much of a reflection on her feelings for you. Now that you have brought the subject out into the open and she has had time to adjust to the idea, she may be warming up to it. I personally think playing hard to get and other games are a waste of time - if you still like the girl, just start dating again. If she is receptive you are back where you started. If she again declines to commit, I would then stop wasting my time. Oh and the part about the cousin is probably just an easy BS excuse for her not really knowing what she wanted at the time.
It sounds like you are in a much better position than the OP though.
