TRS:
I sense a Friend Zone coming up. Play it aloof, make yourself the prize. Jeffries "friends don't put each other in boxes like that..."
Cut conversation short. Be more distant and show that your life has social proof with out her. Stop talking to her for hours every day and don't be her therapist.
Talk to her briefly and arrange fun day two, NOT a movie or dinner (or any other boring date that a bad boy friend of 5 years would do) It's summer so I take a girl (sailing, rock climbing, etc) have playful fun with her but escalate kino.
I'm pretty sure you already have comfort (from what you described), so treat it like a new possible relationship, make her qualify herself, etc.

She told me that she isn't ready to jump into another relationship
BS If a girl REALLY likes you, she will break a rule like that.
Make yourself the prize.
