Hey Reddit, I'm a dude in need of some advice. I moved into my new place (student housing) 3 weeks ago and immediately noticed my extremely attractive female housemate. Everything was strictly silly and non-sexual until this weekend when we spent 4 days together at a friend's cottage. It was awesome, everything clicked immediately. This girl has absolutely everything I could ever want in a SO, and we have about a million things in common; music, books, politics, general outlook on life, hell she even watches SG-1 and TNG. So us being young adults (23 here and 22 for her), we got a little frisky on the weekend and probably didn't spend more than 5min apart each day.

This morning she tells me that she's had such bad relationships lately (broke up 6 months ago with one guy and 2 weeks ago with another guy, which I didn't know about until she told me) that she couldn't risk another bad experience. Apparently both these guys treated her like shit and she got burned pretty badly. She seemed very much on the fence about this decision, and I had to almost talk her into it (I wasn't sure what I wanted to do yet and just with went the nice-guy route)

The engineering part of my brain says I should just be supportive and wait until she's recovered from her previous relationships, but another part of me is seriously doubting letting this girl out of my life. I mean, girls that play God of War and watch BSG and are a smoking 11/10 aren't just lying around. I understand that she thinks I may hurt her, but to be perfectly honest, I'm a pretty fantastic boyfriend (not just saying this, just trying to give you more info). I know for a fact that I would never hurt any girl in a relationship with me.

So my question is, should I go ahead and flower her with my incredible boyfriend-ness and fall madly in love, or should I wait things out and hope no one else comes along?

Sorry for the massive wall of text.
