We had been dating for about a month. One day I asked her out over a text she told me that I acted like I wasn't interested. I talked to her in person and told her how much I liked her and that I wasn't making many moves because I was extremely shy but that I wanted to try. She then told me that she couldn't open up to me, had trust issues, and only wanted a friendship.

Why would she call me out for not acting interested if she didn't want anything more than a friendship?

*I did kiss her once & she seemed very enthusiastic to hang out with me even after I kissed her but she never really allowed me to get physically close to her. I went over to her house a few days after the kiss. I sat down on her couch and she picked a chair halfway across the room. It made it pretty much impossible to go anywhere.

Why was she acting like this? She had to be somewhat interested, right? I've been really depressed because I really like this girl. How do I get her to open up?

she isnt into you.
The put the onus on you at first hoping that she was right. When you confessed your feelings, she then tried another excuse.
Move on, she doesn't want you in a romatic way.

When a woman likes you, she doesn't sit in a chair all the way across the room. .

You've been dating for a month or hanging out for a month?

She told you what she wants, a friendship. That s*cks that she kissed you though, she is giving you mixed signs with that, but I think it's a done deal.

I'd take a break from hanging out with her for a while, giving you time to heal a bit. Hopefully you two can remain friends.

This is what I thought as well. If thats the case Ill say this...

Girls like attention, girls looove attention lol. Dont dwell on this chick. Just dont give her any attention and be happy about finding another girl.

If thats what you want just be more forward next time.

Theres alot more I could say but youll get it eventually

Well, we're not psychic so we can't know what was going on inside her head. But it sounds like she was just surprised because she had no idea that you liked her. She might have been sending mixed signals because she was willing to give you chance but then discovered there was no "spark" for her - or perhaps she decided she couldn't trust someone who could so easily keep their true feelings hidden. If she didn't know you liked her, it makes sense that she had never considered whether there could be something between you. She gave it a shot but decided against it and told you she would rather remain just friends.

You don't "get her to open up." She's set you a boundary, you need to respect it and move on.
