What does it mean when a straight woman said "I've never fallen in love with a woman before" Do I have a chance to be with her?

She knows I like her a lot. But she's scared of hurting me as she has never been with a woman before.

When she says she's never fallen in love with a woman before, does she mean that she is experiencing feelings for you, or does she mean that she has never had feelings for another woman but she likes you enough to not want to hurt you? That distinction might be important to figuring out what she means.

@DunningKruger You are right, I don't think I can handle it if she starts dating someone else. But I did ask her if she's seeing any guys because I got a bit jealous when they hang out. She reassured me that they are just good friends. She's willing to go anywhere with me and even said that I make her happy whenever she sees me. I am so freaking confused. I don't wanna get hurt and I wanna stop falling for her. She's not helping me. 😢

@Tinkerxbell It could be that she has feelings for you but she can't quite get over her social programming and the label of being straight that she has applied to herself. It may well be that that reluctance on her part might weaken over time if you hold the course, give her time and don't press her on the issue. Give her time to find her own way. The risk of that is, of course, getting hurt, so you have to judge what you can do for yourself.
