<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

As the title says, I begun to casually date someone I have known for the past 6 years. She just got out of a long term relationship (of 2 years) and I feared she was on the rebound but after numerous discussions with her, she feels she is ready to see me but also needs time to learn to live by herself and collect her emotions. Which I agreed to.

The first 3 weeks, we hit it of right away and would hang out once or twice a week. Things were great. Suddenly, last week there was radio silence on all fronts so I decided to call her. She stated she has been just enjoying being alone and not messaging anyone. I took it for what it was.

We haven't hung out in 1 1/2 weeks and suddenly talk not nearly as much. Maybe I am reading too much into this. My first reaction is to back off, even though I want to see her. I just have not experienced these up and down signs she is giving me.

Any suggestions?
<bot>: Started seeing an old friend who is fresh out of a relationship. She suddenly needs space. How do you date someone who is recovering like this?
