RomanceClass.com AdviceI don't understand her either.
Something is really troubling her and maybe it is her ex. You should try to find out definitely how she feels about her ex. If she still loves him, then you chances are low for a relationship.
If she's not hung up on him, then ask her how she feels about you and dating. The worst thing she can say is that she just wants friends with benefits. You may have to settle for that until she gets over what is troubling her.
You are in a tought situation and I empathize with you.
Good luck!
