<human>: My ex got out of another relationship not too long ago, which was about 8-10 long months as I recall, and has recently begun to speak to me claiming that she wants me to be "in her life, and be in mine," being friends. 

For the record, I have not been in any new relationship since we broke up two years ago. (We dated for about 2 years, broke up, but we still talked and were seeing each other on and off for about a year after that, but eventually the fighting got so intense, we parted ways and severed contact.)

 Since she has started talking to me recently, I am having trouble discerning her intentions here, as I somewhat wish to try things again. However, I am under the impression that she seeks only a friendship, and nothing more.

 Given the circumstance that she got out of a relationship, I suspect that I am on her mind due to her missing what we had, or simply looking to rebound because she was cheated on in the recently-ended relationship she was in.

 I've tried to be friendly, might have let slip that I still have strong feelings for her, and expressed my doubts about pursuing a friendship at this time due to that and the possibility of feeling conflicted and being friendzoned by my own ex.

I'm in a pickle here. I want to try to give it a shot, but I have no idea how she feels. (She's always been the cryptic type, and loves the pursuit.) 

With that in mind, I fear that I might only find great disappointment and reopen all the old wounds that healed if it turns out she wants nothing more than friendship.

 I'm not quite sure I know how to approach this, and I fear that I might have jumped the gun and wrecked my chances by letting slip that I still love her. Advice?
