Well, "Let me think about it" could be either one of two things. Either she really is thinking about it, or she's buying time to figure out how to handle your advance. The likelihood of it being one or the other depends entirely on the girl. And since I don't know her, I'm not going to speculate. But the optimist in me hopes for the former.
And indeed there really would be something there to consider. Because even though you two apparently are in a really good groove together, and even though in the greater scheme of things your age difference is almost nil, there's a whole lot of life she's experienced that you probably haven't. I'm right in between you guys, age wise, and I think of how much my view of the world has changed in these past years and how much it's bound to change in the next few. There's a big difference. Now for her, being the more experienced, that can either lead towards a feeling of excitement (as she'd be able to introduce you to a number of things) or that can lead to some trepidation (she might simply be looking for someone more on her "level"). My guess is, assuming she's actually thinking about it, that she's feeling a bit of both. But it's been my experience with women in the 25 and over age bracket that they tend to be a bit more lenient, patient and understanding than their younger cohorts. Which means that, without knowing her at all but given her age, you have a better chance of her honestly considering the possibility.
Good luck!
