She has feelings for me, but doesn't know if she is ready yet for something serious. Do I wait?

As the title says, the girl I've been talking to has said she has feelings for me. She's told me this a few times.

I talked to her about us becoming a couple, and she said again that she dies have feeling for me, but she said that she doesn't know if she's ready for a serious relationship yet.

This would be long but not so long distance. She lives 8 hours away from my and across the border in to Canada.

She recently had a bad situation with a guy she met online that was supposed to be her friend that came and visited her. I'm sure this is contributing.

We have talked before about wanting to meet up, but since that issue happened she mentioned that she'd like us to wait a bit longer before meeting. I totally understood this and told her that's fine.

She still sends me kiss emoji and hearts, doesn't know if she's ready for anything serious, but still wants us to stick to each other.

I guess I'm just kind of confused with the relationship and where I should be going from here. Any help would be appreciated.

So a bit of an update, I asked her if she wanted to have a digital date with me this week and she said yes. I told her that I know it doesn't seem like a lot compared to a normal date, but I want to have dates with her. She agreed.
