What to do with the girl I'm dating? She's afraid of getting hurt, but also tells me I'm too good to be true.?

I've been dating this girl for little over a month now and we always have a good time together. What I've noticed is that she doesn't like to communicate with me after she knows she's done something that would disappoint me. This behavior is self imposed, I don't get mad at her, but I want to know what happened, for example when she stood me up. She smokes, I don't, but I have yet to see her smoke, she doesn't feel comfortable smoking in front of me. Again I don't put her down because of it, I just tell her she'll quit whenever she's ready, I don't pressure her to stop. I am loving, understandingand patient. I don't think she's been with a man like me before, so she doesn't know how to act with me. I'm patient enough to give her time, if that's all she needs. If I need to do more, I'd love to know what that is because I really care about her.

    Just keep reassuring her of your devotion to her and be careful not to do anything that could cause her to doubt you.

    She sounds like she is afraid you will react in anger. She may have been in a relationship in the past or had an angry father who verbally abused her maybe even physically abused her. That stuff messes you up and you come to almost expect that people will react that way because it’s how you grew up/ what you know and it takes time to realize it’s not a healthy situation. For me I have an angry father who verbally abuses and threatens me and my siblings. With my bf I was afraid he would be the same way. So for a good while I was afraid to bring anything up at all that could possibly lead to anger. But over time he was very patient with me and nothing but kind and loving and now I have an easier time talking to him. If you love her and want to be with her just let your actions show her that she is safe now and she should open up at her own pace.
