Give her a big landmark to meet at, and get to know each other properly over a cup of coffee or something. Don't go romantic yet, just go for friendship. There is a progression to this kind of thing, and messing with that progression messes with your head.This is very true.
I have experience with people that wanted relationships before friendships.
Go slow, earn a friend, and maybe when you are ready your girl friend could also be your best friend.
