She may genuinely just need some time to be on her own after getting out of a long term relationship. If this is the case and she actually recognizes that this is a really healthy and potentially necessary thing for her to do, then AWESOME. 5 stars to this girl for not jumping right into something else before she's ready. If you think she's sincere and you really think there might be something here, then give her the space she's asking for.
I'd suggest not taking too much time to pine or daydream about her during this time, but also take time for yourself. I also recommend giving yourself a deadline on this friend-zone time. How long are you willing to wait for her to be "ready"? a couple of weeks? 6 months? A year?
Another scenario is that she got out of a long-term relationship and suddenly someone was super keen on being with her and she milked it for all it was worth. Finally, someone was paying her the kind of attention her ex wasn't. It's possible she just got scared, or it's possible that feeling wore off a bit and now she wants to see what else might be out there. She might want to keep occasional contact in order to keep you warming on the back burner, just in case she decides that you're the best she can do.
This is all just from my own personal experience, but at the end of the day I think you're best taking her lead and making your own feelings and needs your #1 priority. She's taking care of herself right now and you should probably do the same.
