How to respond to a girl that says she wants to get to know me better but doesn't want a relationship yet?

Anonymous
I met a girl she is 21 and has been in 2 previous relationships before which she told me both ended bad for her because she got hurt and played both times... so we started texting and hanging out most of the times it's her who text me first and always tells me how I am unique sweet and nice... and says she is interested in me but that she doesn't want a relationship right now and that friendship for now is the best thing.

I want to be her boyfriend and she knows that but sometimes I wonder if I'm being friend zoned or not... we've known each other for 2 months and gone out on like 5-6 dates but since she doesn't want a relationship right now we have NOT kissed or hold hands or anything like that... most dates end with a hug.

Most of the times it's her who wants to hang out with me and initiates the dates but I feel like it's going nowhere... she text me things like "i miss our date nights" "i want to go out with you this weekend" stuff like that.

Does she like me?

i feel confused and don't know how to play my cards right with her

She told me she likes the fact that I don't try and rush things with her at all and that I'm not a pushy guy.
