I can't offer any further advice on this situation but I agree with Reese's. She asked for time to process, give her space and time. The outcome might not change, but it's the mature thing to do. In this time, you should work on you. Do some self reflection and work on your own interests and betterment.

This makes so much sense. Man, is dating hard with all the hidden little rules and exceptions!
So I kind of did as you said, backed off, threw all my expectations off. There's still some hope in me tho.

Luckily she has written to me quite a few times since. She also phoned me late at night recently after a concert. We went to church last Sunday, and afterwards messaged me to ask if I wanted to see her place where she lives with a bunch of people, and then we're going to take a walk. This Tuesday actually. I take this as good signs, but I don't feel the pressure to say much as I did before. Though, in her messages to me she emphasize her joy, gratitude, how she's looking forward, and so fourth.
Anyway, I'm trying to learn my lesson to give her all the space she needs as you mention. And just being thankful for the time spent and surrendering it all to God, because yeah, trying to take control definitely can hurt a little and perhaps ruin the story as you said
