That pretty quickly progressed to us pitching the group and just having drinks or dinner with eachother about once a week.
About two weeks ago, she went to the ER. When she called to let me know, she said she was fine now, bit i still dropped everything and went back (i was 100 miles out of town on business) she was out of work until today due to this problem. I brought her food daily, flowers a few time, ran her errands, etc. She never asked, I just took care of it all. I'm told now, by a very good mutual friend, that my 'kindness' moved her to tears when he was talking to her. He also tells me that she called me before her family.

There is a lot of telling info in this post. Especially that second paragraph.
It sounds like
both of you are already pretty much "there."
You both obviously really care for each other and enjoy spending time together... almost "need" to spend time together.
I think the snowball is already rolling... wait, that's not a good metaphor.
Just take it slow and steady like others have said, and just be ready for things to take a quantum leap forward... almost to the point of no return insofar as your hearts/emotions are concerned if you kiss and/or say "I love you."
That is probably a whole lot bigger deal for her at her age than it is for you.
If you two get closer emotionally after kissing, then for some reason it doesn't work out in a couple of months or more, count on it being a lot tougher on her than it is on you. Maybe not by much, because it sounds like you are already there, but just know if you make that leap and then decide later she is not for you, she will most likely hurt really badly for a long, long time.
Ask me how I know. But not here.
