The girl that guards her heart does what she does for a reason. She has been betrayed often in her life and it hasn’t just been by the guys she has given her heart to. It has been by people that she should not have to question their love or loyalty, like members of her family. In her relationships she expects more because she knows what she deserves. More than likely she is going to often seem distant or maybe not even interested in what is going on, this is not a time to pry information out of her. She is thinking about her happiness and maybe even her future in the relationship or as an individual. Give her the space she needs in this moment but also do not leave her, she needs to know that you are physically there, however, asking questions will just begin to stress her out.
She has a hard time expressing her feelings not because she isn’t interested in you or because she doesn’t want to but because anytime she has opened her heart to someone she has been burned. So do not take it personally. It may seem sometimes that she isn’t having a good time -- this again is a misconception; she is probably having a great time and doesn’t know how to express it. Along with this she may have a hard time saying “good-bye” in fear that it may be the last time. She has an honest fear of being replaced or left because it has happened more times than she cares to admit. She needs constant reassurance and needs to know that she is loved.
Always remember to be supportive. She needs reassurance, love, and care. But do not make her feel like she is incapable of taking care of herself, because she can live without you and your pity and she will be fine. But if you managed to get her and keep her, you will be very lucky as you have just gained a woman with the moral, emotional, and physical stamina to rule the world.
