<human>: I'm a 31m and she's a 30f.  We met a few months ago on vacation, but she lives out of state.  We have been talking for awhile mostly just IM and and i didn't ask her out until a month or two after we started chatting and she hit me with the following:

me: i'd like to take you out on a date--and i know distance is a big issue--is there anything i could do to make this happen?

her: i'm very flattered, but i just dont see it being smart or feasible w/ the distance and where I am..physically/mentally
and i would hate for anything to affect my friendship w/ you

me: i see--i appreciate your candor.

 her: hope youre not offended

me: no, that's life i guess. i've made a bit of a fool of myself with the flowers--amongst other things--but i'll try not to let that affect things too much.

her: no that was a friendly and appreciated gesture

me: lol i was trying to be more romantic.

her: that, too

well, i've recently learn that in that time period she was talking to someone else who recently ended up flaking on her.   I learned this because she told me when I asked how she was doing and she said she was sick to her stomach but didn't want to tell me why.

They apparently were chatting all of the time and he would call her and they would have hours long conversations.

Well, since this guy flaked on her we have been having these 2 - 3hr late night phone conversations until morning. 

Now, is she just wanting attention and has no intention of wanting to date?  or is there interest and i should ask again?

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: I met this girl. We have been talking. She said she just wanted to be friends. Later learned she was chatting with this other guy she was really interested in and now he is out of the picture.
