She's anxious. Do I need to be patient and allow her to get used to dating?

Question - (1 September 2016) 2 Answers - (Newest, 5 September 2016)
A male United Kingdom age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I have started dating a girl at the start of August after being divorced.

From the offset she tells me she is a very anxious person and it takes her a long time to get used to people and move relationships in the right direction, eg we didn't kiss until the third meeting.

She confuses me, she cuddles me for a while and then turns away after a while.

She says she finds it too easy to be herself around me and her brain makes her think it is a bad thing. We are now exclusive and in a relationship l.

She referred herself as my girlfriend for the first time today, but chastised me when I implied the same saying it's childish and our relationship shouldn't have labels but she referred to herself as my girlfriend and asked what I think I am to her.

I really like her a great deal.

Do I just be patient and let her come round to the idea of being my girlfriend, I'm not after a title but when she referred to herself as my girlfriend confused me and throws a bit of doubt into my mind.

I'm happy being exclusive and in a relationship with her.

For your girldfriend to admit she can be herself around you is a big step for her and you should feel very proud of Yourself....because you seem to be alllowing her to be safe,so she can be herself.Yes give her a little time and i am sure she will come the round circle with you as her boyfriend.Shw would be aware that you are divorced,so she may be taking your relationship in a slow fashion, as she wants to make sure..its real.Time, understanding, and care will sort this situation out.Kinds regards Nora B.
