Me [M-30].  Her [F-31]

**Background**
I've recently (1 1/2 months ago) ended a 3 1/2 year serious relationship. My reasons for breaking up are mixed, but needless to say I feel quite comfortable and -relieved- with the decision to end it.  It was time to move forward.

Over a year ago, I changed jobs and the coffee shop in my office building became my routine stop every morning.  I began to have idle conversations with one of the employees there.  I was immediately drawn to her.  Our interactions remained short and polite for over a year.  We'd sometimes have idle conversations over cigarette breaks here and there as well.  I've always kept my relationship life private and never discussed it with her. 

**Present situation**
One day, soon after my breakup I inform her that I've ended my relationship in response to her asking me why I look so "down and preoccupied".  She invites me for a drink after work to take my mind off things.  I agree.  We've had a handful of dates, either at a bar, cafe or her apartment.  Nothing has ever happened.  She knows that I am attracted to her as I'm a pretty transparent guy and she acknowledges that, but I've never moved past the peck on the cheek at the end of the evening.

**HALP!**
The reason I'm here writing this is obvious. I would like to escalate things with her, but am afraid to scare her off.  My recent breakup may make her believe that I'm just looking for a rebound... or worse, I'm looking for another LTR. I'm simply looking to have fun and keep things light, but the urge to kiss her is growing harder to control.  Moreover I can't read her and have no idea if she feels an attraction towards me.  The facts as I have them in my head make me believe that she is interested, but I can't trust my gut feeling.
<bot>: Recently broken up. Interested in new girl. Afraid to make move as I do not want to make her feel like all I want is a possible rebound or possible LTR.
