Just be friendly with her, if at some later date, things are right, you can always look at picking up where you left off. Just keep it nice, keep it friendly, make sure she knows you like her, and that it was just circumstance that means it's not right at the moment. You could still go out on the occasional date, still stay in touch and everything.
It still amazes me how we tie ourselves in knots about whether we can be labelled boyfriend/girlfrind or not. Really, re the two of you before and after your conversation. What's changed? You're still both the same people, who feel the same things about each other as you did before. You've just expressed your wishes/plans for the future - it shouldn't be a biggie.
So ask her out for a fun date, stay good friends - It could get complicated, but hey, that's all part of life's rich tapestry right?
