Wherw to go from here?

[5frontdoors]

Been seeing a girl for a while, we have regular dates and talk everyday. She sends lots of affection my way. And shows she genuinely cares.

Since meeting her I've seen her go through a lot and some reasonabley traumatic experiences. I've stayed by her side and helped with whatever I can

Most people assume we are dating and it even feels as though we are and I genuinely enjoy being around her and talking to her. Likewise from her side as she has told me that she likes me and is interested in where it can go

I know she is slow to trust and has been hurt badly before, I recently brought up the subject of putting labels on everything. Her response was 'i don't want to rush anything ATM x'

I told her I understand and she was still sending lots of affection e. g hearts, kisses and sending pictures as she was going out.

If this is genuinely going to go somewhere I'm happy to keep waiting but I also feel somewhat rejected as in a way I was. The big question is how to I act and think about the situation

Honestly, it sounds like you're doing the right things for her. If she's the kind of person that takes it slow and needs it to be approached this way, then you're doing great.

I know it's a little dejecting if you're looking for an official label, but you need to focus on the bright side. She's looking at a future with you and she's still here.

Just hang in there! It'll be worth it!

I'm so confused. Is she looking for a future or just keeping me as an option? I've already been through all the bad times with her

It sure seems like you are both committed and have an agreeable temperament. YES, it looks good for long-term plan.
