[quote=Anonymous]There is a woman I'm interested in who is 35 and has never been in a relationship.  She is fit, attractive, good job, and by all accounts seems put together.  She admits to being both shy and introverted.  I know she went to a Catholic high school but a public university.  She doesn't seem to be super religious today, but I know it's common for that Catholic guilt to carry with people for their entire lives.  I have no idea if she's a virgin.

She flirts with me and I've asked her out before.  When I did that, she told me that she's shy, never been in a relationship, and wants to take things excruciatingly slow and stay as friends for now.  So I completely backed off.

I've recently learned of a potential label for this -- Avoidant Attachment.  Do you think that's what this is?  Any advice for how to proceed other than continuing to back off and give her a ton of space?

At the same time, I realize I am just setting myself up for disappointment.  Should she ever come around and we did start dating, she likely has no idea what to do in one.  And her first relationship would not be her forever one.  I know that.[/quote]
