I met her at work 3 1/2 months ago. I didn't want a committed relationship, but she caught me completely off guard. She is 19, single mom, independent, strong and motivated. After 3 months of spending a lot of time together outside work, we found ourselves unexpectantly saying "I love you". Even talking about marriage on a serious level. I was about to leave for Texas this past x-mas for college, but stayed and asked her to marry me. She was caught off guard but still very happy, she said she had to think about it. Over the next 2 weeks, I messed up, became suddenly insecure, questioning "us" too often, and one night said I would simply leave if she said "no" and just wanted to date instead of saying yes to a long engagement. Days later, I knew she was going to say "no" and begged for just one chance without the question to just date. She said she doesn't want a man in her life now, but, I sensed something still there. How do I show her I still want and love her but give her her space?
