If she beats around the bush in getting around to telling you she likes you, 9 times out of 10 she will beat around the bush about other relationship issues, including the kind that should have been getting immediate attention.
Your personal space is ideally the last step, or near the end of the chain leading to something fulfilling, whether short-term or long-term. It is not a tool.

Wow... never has my mind ventured in that direction in the search for truth, and yet... I read it, and it's the shortest trip towards reason I have ever seen. This is quite possibly the most succinct and accurate way of portraying this scenario I have ever encountered.
"Your personal space is not a tool." Brilliant.
More to your own particular circumstance, I can only say the following, which is a repeat of previous posts: stop asking. If you were night #1 on the job, and had NO idea where you stood, then ok maybe. But only once. But as soon as she said she liked you, you should show her what kind of gentleman you are.
Oh, and for ALL those guys out there who don't know it... "i'm afraid of getting hurt" really means "i've been hurt before (or recently), so be extra careful with me," and is NOT a "stop" sign. The girl is giving you the "go", but with the understanding that you need to proceed slowly, and genuinely. This is your time to shine if you truly feel deeply for her- this is what lifelong marriages are made of.
