girl help: Shes not ready for a relationship? - Help.com

She likes you, but shes scared shell lose you if things don’t work out! So tell her that things will work out :)

She may have been hurt in a previous relationship and would prefer to get to know you better first by taking it slow so as to avoid putting herself in a vulnerable position. My advice would be to give her every reason not to be scared, but at the same time I’d refrain from pressuring her into something for which she’s not yet ready. Obviously, your actions speak louder than your words; therefore, she will be more inclined to trust that it is safe to proceed based upon how well you carry yourself and, most importantly, how well you treat her.

I would advise against initiating everything. You shouldn’t have to do that. And if for some odd reason you ever feel like that is what’s happening, something is indeed wrong.

Well, there’s an exception to many rules. I don’t see a problem with it if her shyness is preventing her from asking you to hang out. Her shyness will gradually wear off the more time you spend with her and the more she grows comfortable hanging out with you.
