She broke up with me saying she felt smothered! What can I do?

Ive been dating a girl for the past 6 months (2 of which i just courted her). She never has boyfriends or even hookups and i had very strong feelings for her so i took things slow. Shortly after, she lost her job/apt so i had her move in with me. Everything seemed to be great, then she freaked out, said she needed space and was going to her moms for the night. She left me a note about how much she loves me and apologised for losing her shit. 2 days later she dumps me and moves out. Ive talked briefly with her a few times and what i can gather is that she feels smothered. Im apparantly the "perfect lover" according to her but that i have a negative outlook on life. She hasnt given me any clear answers and says she doesnt know what she wants and that she doesnt think she can be a girlfriend to anyone. She seems to be trying to keep me around as a friend though? Or maybe theres something i can do to fix this? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
