She contacted me after short freeze-out. Now what?

I came on too strong, too needy, too early. Basically the opposite of proper seduction technique was used. You live. You learn. You change your pillowcase because it's wet with tears.

After 6 days of no-contact (after reduced contact following a basic LJBF hidden in the phrase "I'm not ready for a relationship right now"), she texted me something mundane. And a few hours later I responded to her text. Now what?

I don't want to try to go back to talking as much as we were yet, I don't think it's the right time, but I'm not sure how to proceed.

We were "talking" for a few months before I tried to bring up a relationship, and she pulled back a lot. She continued to respond to me for 3 weeks, but she wasn't initiating nearly as much. So I pulled back. Any suggestions, friends?
