A year ago or something i met this amazing woman. Things started relatively open, we didn't want to give our relationship a name or anything. Then things started to become more serious and she backed out of it. She shortly dated her ex but from the start i had a feeling that wouldn't last. We kept in touch, intimate even. (No sex or anything but there were cuddles. She also knew i still loved her and she didn't mind that at all although my boners sometimes were quite awkward).

Since a couple of weeks her ex broke up with her (as i predicted), and in the meantime our contact grew stronger. I'm not angry for her going back to her ex since our communication about this has been very strong. She has her issues to deal with though (and so have I). I think it's mostly fear of commitment leading to her walking away when things became too serious.

Now she shows she's really working on this issue. She suggested to pin ourselves down to be dating at least until April and only then evaluate. We also talked about how we see things in the future, realistically. She agreed to meet some people who are important to me as well, something she got very anxious about in the past as well.

Any tips for dating someone with fear of commitment? I sometimes feel like she's might be pushing herself too much.
