<human>: Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?

I'm going to keep it short and sweet here. She's a girl I've known a very long time and have always wanted to date, but we never really had the chance to get close. she recently messaged me on Facebook, and I want to ask her out without moving too quickly or too slowly. I would like to make correct decisions and not run her off. 

Extra info: She got out of a relationship relatively recently. I have little dating experience. We have not been on a date ever, and we havent seen each other in person for a while.
<bot>: I need advice on how to move forward in a relationship, but I feel like I need specific advice given the situation.
