I'm scared of asking her out on a date but at the same time scared of losing her friendship?

I don't know what I feel exactly but I do know I want to get to know her more

This girl, she is 30 I am 31, from work asked me out for drinks and we had the best night ever, her words, there was some flirtation and eye goggling throughout the night, a lot of touching mostly by her

She recently broke up with someone but her focus seemed solely on me that night

I didn't make a move since I want to get to know her more, hell maybe we stay as good friends? She even called me her new best friend, right before caressing my beard...

She has been odd since that night, when I try to follow up on plans we made together she accepts but then moves the day, sometimes just ignores my texts, but then sends me a "good morning" and a "thank you looking out for me" text

I mean she doesn't even seem to want to hangout as friends anymore? I kind of want to tell her "I miss hanging out with you" but feel like it'd be a bit too much?

She did tell me she is happy being alone, but then I think about how flirts with and looks at me. So giving her time is my first options, but I don't want to wait too long either, and I know she showed interest in me, I'm not that oblivious. I fear losing that

I always make friends first, get to know them and ease into something else if the sparks are there. If not, good, close friends are always welcome! Pulling the bandaid and asking her on a date seems like a good choice too but I don't know if she's ready, and the rejection would suck as I could also lose her friendship
