My girlfriend tells me she "needs more time", what exactly do I do?

Sure I've asked all my friends and now I think I'll ask more people with experience as well. Basically, I started dating a girl a few days ago and everything was great, we had talked non stop for an entire month before we got together, only because I usually get screwed over and I wanted to be sure this is both what we wanted, well then after I was sure and I got the feeling she was, I asked her and she said yes just instantly. Everything was great for a few days and then today, well yesterday afternoon she called me saying she needed more time and wasn't ready for a relationship, she had gotten out of a long term 2 year relationship 6 months prior to ours. She told me I'm a great guy and she just doesn't want me to get hurt...

Anyways, whats your guys' take on this? Obviously I'm gonna give her time and space but is there any other advice? No stupidity please, I'd appreciate actual answers.

Update:

I even, you know.. asked if she was only doing this for somebody else and she said no. Which I believe her, she's not the type of girl to do that to someone. So I mean maybe it is that she just needs time. But I'm not sure. So it's time for me to ask the world for help :]

Update 2:

^ Meant to say that as if she found somebody else she liked...

    I think she probably either isn't that into you or found someone else. Sorry, bro.

    It is hard to get over a long term relationship. The problem is that you tend to compare everyone else to the person you were with. No one measures up, because she can't replace him completely. She needs time to get over that, and be able to accept each person for what they are and looks that their individual value. That is probably why she split with you. Unfortunately, you did not measure up to him. That is not your fault. That is the delusions she is living under, because if it were so great, they would have still been together.

    Back off from her and other girls like her that are just getting out of long term relationships. Just date and enjoy their company. Don't try to push them into a relationship. You don't want to end up being some girl's rebound guy.

    She does not really want to be with you.

    Move on to someone else before you waste your time
