If I am younger or You are older

She: u had intentions b4 to want to court me 1 ar?
This is the first time I have been asked by someone whether I'm trying to court her? So, how am I going to answer? If I say yes, is not really what I meant, cause in my first impression, she is a very nice and cute girl that can be more than just a friend. But not up to the level that I want to court her. But if I say no, it is just partially right, cause I can feel that I like her too, but what I'm afraid is the age will be the barrier within us. She really can be a my girl friend if I am younger or she is older. Besides, I doesn't want to hurt her feeling to say no. I doubt with love of first sight, but I believe relationship has to build follow by time. We could be a couple 1 day, who know?
She: so u mean... u never wanted to take action since the beginning 1?
Me: u wan me to ar?
She: u mean if.... im older or u r younger.... u will la?
Me: highly chance. > 80%
She: tell u something ler...if im older or if u r younger...would maybe start sumthing with u too lor... u r a nice guy....wouldnt mind having one like dat in my life..
I felt so touch when she tell me this. I understand it is not easy for girl to do sotell. It is really worth for me to care about her and has a friend like her in my life.
