<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

Hey!  I'll try to keep this short.  Met a girl a month ago, got a good vibe after hanging out with her (in a group) and asked for her number.  Asked her on a date which was supposed to be short, but ended up spanning 12 hours - coffee, dinner, went to a concert, drinks after, walked for late night food etc. Ended up kissing (making out, nothing past that), hand holding, happy feels, etc.  It literally couldn't have been better or more storybook like.

Fast forward a month - we've been on a few dates (yes, I specifically asked her on a date to show my interest) that included cooking dinner for her, going out for more drinks, took her on a surprise picnic, etc.  I'm genuinely a caring individual and showcase my affection for people pretty easily (ENFP for anyone who cares) so she knows I'm interested. What's confusing for me is that it hasn't progressed much past that.  I'm usually very intuitive but I can't get a read on the situation and logic/analyzation is going into overdrive. There have been a few more kisses (maybe 4/5 total?), not much physical contact otherwise.  

We've spent a lot of time together in the past month (she went away for a bit) and we're both in the same field professionally. We see each other pretty often and text pretty regularly. Her best friend (a close friend of mine too) said not to press her too hard because she's a very slow mover and not the type to just hookup. Also she's pretty fiercely independent (as am I).  She's from a southern background so I know dating culture is a bit different (I'm born and bred Northerner).

Anyways, in my mind, nothing has progressed further than what happened on day one. In all of my other experiences, I've had a pretty clear cut idea by this point where it's headed. I'm not getting mixed signals, I'm just getting few signals at all. Is asking to hang out from her end a sign of interest? Am I friend zoned since my gut feeling doesn't have much to say, or am I being stupidly impatient?
<bot>: Met girl, fantastic first few dates, hasn't progressed much since then, not sure if a lack of signals means no dice or just too early to tell.
