Not ready for a relationship

[Scruffpanda]

I was seeing this girl for a month we hit it off. We weren’t expected to meet each other how we did and it was almost like it was meant to be. I haven’t been in a relationship for three years. She hasnt for a couple of months everything seem to be going fine, but she recently said she does not think and she isn’t ready for a relationship and cannot open up to be as affectionate as I need right now she said she would like to be friends and maybe try again later. Since I’ve known her, she has done nothing but tell me the truth, be open Bold and very honest with me about everything we have had some deep conversations, so I somewhat believe what she is saying or is she just being nice and letting me down easy. And should I try for the friend ship or just walk away

The answer to this question depends on whether you'd be satisfied as friends.  Would you be OK if she had a friendship with you started dating someone else?

If not, tell her that your interest in her is more of the romantic sort and that if she changes her mind, you'd love to hear from her

I agree that she is letting you down gently.

It's up to you now if you are ok with just friendship.
