Rule number 18147: girls usually don't want to date again so soon after a relationship ended- at least not just anyone. But exceptions happen.

I think being friends for now is a good thing. If she happens to be actually interested in you romantically, she might change her mind during that time, but if she doesn't, at least you two had a great time.

P.S.: Pro tip: Don't be too pushy about your interest in her. If she said no, accept that until she changes her mind out of her own will- because trying to convince a girl into dating you after she dumped you once is a no-no. Talking from the girl's side: It's hella awkward. And can be annoying if you're extremely persistent. Speaking from experience here.
