Jmtmj agony auntYeh dude, give it time. Dont pressure her... I wouldnt even bring the topic up to be honest. Just have fun with her and be really easy going, there's no rush. Do this and in comparison to her last boyfriend I'd expect her to be ready for a relationship much sooner.

Its all very well to say to her that you wont treat her the way she was treated by her ex in the past... but actions speak much, MUCH louder than words..

Best of luck :)

The best move you can make right now is to not pressure her since she clearly stated her intentions. Be there for her and take time to build on the trust that is building in this situation which is crucial if success is to be achieved with her.

I think as it is, you need to spend more time getting to know her and gaining her trust. She has said she doesn't want a boyfriend at the moment, which means she isn't over her past hurt. All you can do is be there, gently ask her about what happend in the past to her so she can come to terms with it and hopefully, if she does like you as much, she'll let you know. Don't as yet though, she's not ready.
