OP Here
>>40's correct, and mentions a good point, and taking it slowly this time is exactly what I'm doing, since you're right that she's not going anywhere, so I can take my time getting to know her (For example, we just finished for the night playing an MMO for a few hours together, with nothing specifically "romantic" or anything like that, just good natured fun together!

In the past, I myself, have been too eager to get directly into a "relationship", passing the getting-to-know-someone phase, and I don't want to do that anymore! This girl came out of the blue, and indicated that she's at the least, friendly & comfortable with me, and I want to take that where it will go naturally, rather than directing it by complicated notions of that "relationship" word!

And I will indeed drop OG a line to continue dropping it off, albeit not bluntly (as that would sound fake or evasive, just honest, as I do need time to sort through things (I haven't replied to her all weekend, as I'd said I'd be relaxing this weekend earlier, and I actually felt glad I wasn't feeling obliged to reply for a change...)
