How to bring her out of her shell

[Lossforwords]

I am in a rather awkward relationship right now. We have been talking and experienced some rather powerful moments, both good and bad. My partner is rather... difficult sometimes. She has told me that she doesnt feel good about herself and that she feels she does not deserve what I have to offer. She has said that what I offer, she has only read about and never experienced, that it scares her. So she pulls away, blocks and guards herself.

A friend has told me that she isnt ready for what I have to offer and that ultimately I will pay the price with a broken heart. I asked her about that and she said that she is and she isnt. She is ready to experience something new but she isn't because of her fear.

Any advice? Thoughts?

She is ready to experience something new but she isn't because of her fear.

Fear. That four letter f-word.

Lots of women have been hurt and destroyed by feminism and other mind washing things going on. You can see it here. Their intellectual mind gets in the way of their heart.

Or dudes. Or who knows.

Also, opening your heart to someone means that it could get hurt. But I suppose that is the reason for the mystical love bug.
