Can I recover this situation or is it a lost cause?

I went on a date with this girl a short while ago which went really well, with the date ending with a kiss and her excitedly agreeing to another date. The second date was arranged for a few days later, but the night before this date is where I possibly messed up and came on too strong.

Basically, the night before I went to this party. Throughout the night this girl and I were texting and as I was getting tipsier the flirtier I was getting, which tbh she seemed to enjoy. Although, the next morning when I read back through the texts I did feel it may have been a bit too much. So, later on that day we met up and I did apologise, which she said not to worry. The date itself went well again and I got the sense she enjoyed herself. So, as I felt it was right I asked if she would like to end the date with a kiss, however, she rejected telling me I’m putting too much pressure on kissing her.

After the date despite her initially agreeing to meet again she did end up cutting things off saying that she felt uncomfortable with how things had moved too fast. I understood how she felt and moved on in terms of dating her. However, as we ended things on good terms she has been keen on remaining in touch. For the past month and a half, we’ve been messaging on and off purely on a friendly basis and have kept things casual. Now, a friend of mine suggests as she is still talking maybe I should test the waters to see if she would like to try things again, but make sure I take it slow.

Tbh I do think I blew my shot with her, but do you think I should give it another go?
