... there is the possibility of that. At least there was no overt indication that she wanted to make explicit that she meant as friends, but if there's any ambiguity in the future, I'll try and get clarification.

I just feel kind of proud of myself for actually going for it in any case. I feel sort of like this was partially to prove to myself that I really am back to the confident, assertive person I used to be before I became an anxious wreck, so I'd have been pretty happy even if she'd said no or made it clear it would be only as friends. At least I'd have tried instead of letting the opportunity pass by and regretting it later.
Cheering for you anyway! Good luck
