<human>: I spent the full summer with this girl, fell completely in love with her, she lives 8 hours away, but that doesn't scare either of us, we have agreed distance is good to start but obviously need an end game.
After a full summer, we made out a few times, I drove down to her house and lived with her family for a week, her family and friends all LOVE me. We have a VERY strong foundation but when she left for school she told me she wasn't ready to date anyone.
I respected her decision and kept my distance for the past 2-3 weeks. During this time she would do some petty things to get my attention and texted me some rude things but I ignored them, I know she doesn't meant harm so I didn't feed that. She called at the end of the week and apologized and i forgave her.
After this she has been texting me for a few hours every morning and has been a little flirty.
I love this girl, so now that things are picking up I want to make sure I handle it well.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Didn't want to date a month ago, warming back up to me, want to be careful and do this right.
