Break Up & Divorce

Is my female friend reconsidering dating me after previous rejections?

I have a long time friend who i have been in love with for some time. Although in the past, I have asked this person on dates on several occasions, I have been rejected each time. However, a year ago we had an argument which was caused by my feelings for her. After the initial argument i finally told her that I was in love with her. We did not talk for a few months at which point she told me she didn't want to talk to me because of the fight itself and she was still angry from it. I gave her space and went no contact for about 9 months. Recently I have connected back with her and let her know although i have tried I'm not completely over her yet. As part of that conversation she said i am a great guy and attractive. This was more in relation to some things i told her around some self-confidence i had lost from her rejections that i recently gained back by dating other women during our friendship break. This has got me pretty confused because earlier in the conversation I definitely told her i was going to stop asking her out and working on getting over my feelings. Ultimately my gut is telling me that she is just being nice to get the friendship back. Just want some opinions to stop myself from making a fool of myself.
