Girls, Am I Being Strung Along?

About 8 months ago, we talked about a possible relationship we both came to the conclusion we are not wanting or ready for a relationship. So, we have been friends and we have gone out to dinners that pretty much I have volunteered to foot the bill. I decided to throw her a birthday party and invited my friends as well as hers. Again, I decided to foot the bill for all her drinks. Needless to say, she got way too drunk and I ended up taking care of her til she got home. When we left the bar, she gave me a big hug, thanked me, and asked me where her kiss was. I ended up kissing her and I ended up driving her home along with my friends. While driving home, she grabbed my hand and held it all the way back home. When I dropped her off, I helped her in and we hugged again. After that, she asked for a kiss again and we did. So, after chatting with her today, she seems to not remember any of this and I am actually kind of hesitant to bring this up to her. So, does this just mean that she does like me but needs alcohol to get the courage to make the moves or it is the sort of thing that I am someone she knows that she feels comfortable with. BTW, we haven't held hands or kissed when she has been sober. We have only hugged. The other thing I noticed was that afterwards, she posted onto Facebook a special thanks to me for throwing her the party and specifically said that I am awesome. Also, we have had physical contact like her holding onto my arm after one of the dinners and her grabbing my hands to put around her. My friend thinks that she is pulling a mimic act where she will only show the same amount of interest I show. My feeling is that I am a willing person to essentially watch her and take care of her/pay for her. It is sort of a "I am the in-between guy" til someone comes along. In her defense, she pays for her mom, sister, and two kids to live where they do. Again though her explanation back when we started involved comments like "A relationship is something I can't give" and "I think there is a right time for everything and it isn't the right time for me". I can see the sincerity but I just look at it from me friend's standpoint of if she found a guy, we would probably stop talking. About a week later, we went out for pool with my younger brother and even though we had a good time, she stool next to me at times while standing a few feet away at others. My co-workers said that it was because my brother was there. Also, after we finished, it was pouring down rain and I took off my jacket for her and when we got back to the car, she gave it back to me..........no thank you or anything.....WTF......Let me know what you girls think! FYI, she has 2 kids.
