I agree with your last post, I think finding that balance will be key.

I’m seeing some examples of “all or nothing” thinking in your other posts. I don’t think you should read too much into this woman not spending one on one time with you at this stage.

In my own experience, if it helps you, I was friends with my husband quite some time before we developed a relationship. I wouldn’t say I sought out his company initially but I did like him and it took time to develop that.

Be careful with reading dating advice, there’s a lot of generalised stuff written, but we are individuals with different perspectives and thoughts, we don’t all fit into the pattern these websites write about.
