<human>: A girl I have had a crush on since high school has recently separated from her boyfriend of 3 years. In high school I had a crush on her would spend a lot of time hanging out at her house with my friends then when I told my friend I wanted to ask her out he told me they were kind of seeing each other. Turned out they weren't he just lied to be a douche and I never made a move.

A month ago I invited her to a party that was going on at my house and she said she would come night of the party she never did and text me that she didn't come because her boyfriend dumped her. Now me being pretty drunk admitted to her that I used to have a crush on her and that she was a real catch and any guy that let her go was an idiot. 

Well I don't here from her for about a week then she text me out of the blue and said she wanted to hang out. I said sure what you got in mind and she said "I don't know I never thought I would get this far" (what does that mean??) Me not wanting to push out a let's go on a date vibe if she wasn't ready said that she should come over to my house and we could play some video games. She agreed 30 min later she said nah never mind I'm felling too blegh don't want to be a bother. So I said okay next time. 

I just got out of a relationship about 7 months ago I used to be with a poisonous bitch that made my life miserable. And have almost no experience asking girls out since my ex was the one that asked me. I really like this girl she has an amazing personality and even though we grew apart while we were both in relationships these last year's I remember all the fun we used to have and it brings a smile to my face. 

How long should I wait to ask her out? Or is there a specific approach I should take in this situation since she's just out of a relationship? My friends tell me not to ask her out because she just see me as a rebound is this true?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
