Girl already told me we could be great friends before we have even met yet?

I met this girl on Facebook and I said why don't we chat a bit and if we get along good we can meetup for a date. We've been chatting for about 2 weeks now and I've suggested a date which I think she agreed to. So now we were talking and she responds out of the blue with we could be great friends. That's not what I was going for I want to date. I don't know Maybe that's my problem I should just let things flow first instead of trying to date right off the bat.

Opinions?
