<human>: Just to give a little background, this is the first girl I've ever dated. I have had sexual interactions with other girls before but this is the only thing close to being an actual relationship. She got out of a relationship that was fairly bad around August and she said that she didn't want anything too committed because she wasn't ready. Everything we were doing though for the time being was as if we were in an actual relationship.

Things were going very well and but she kept mentioning some time around January that she wanted to be single. She then said that she wanted to be able to see other people while we still were meeting up (She said something between committed relationship and FWB). I told her that night no I don't want to deal with something like that. That night was rough because I really did like this girl a lot and I haven't met a girl like this that I was interested in. So the next day I caved and told her that I was fine with just doing what she said. We spent that night together but the week following that was extremely unusual. We stopped talking the way we normally did (I felt like she was intentionally not talking to me). 

A week after that she told me that things are too messy and that we should just be friends. I was wondering if I should still be hopeful in trying to start up something again in the future when she feels more comfortable with being in a relationship, or if I should just give up entirely. I see this girl on a fairly consistent basis since we have a lot of mutual friends. This would be a lot easier if we didn't have mutual friends but since I see her so much I'm not sure what I should do.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: Really clicked with this girl but she wasn't ready for a relationship at the time. Wondering if I should be hopeful of trying to start up something again in the near future. Mutual friend group.
