Search Results: how do i start to trust more females

I have a female friend that started showing some strong but mixed signs of romantic interest in me. We have a lot of mutual friends so we saw each other often. After about a month of back and forth of mixed signals I finally say her down and told her that I was interested in her and that I suspected she was interested in me and that I wanted to know for sure so that we could go on being friends of perhaps something more.

At first she denied having any interest in me, but I knew she had been hurt by guys in the past so I let her know I valued our friendship and that I just wanted to get to know her more, no expectations. After that she opened up and told me all sorts of things about her past and said she needs to trust me, but wants to give me a chance for her to trust me and to get to know me better too. I told her we would just have fun and get to know each other and in three months have this conversation again.

I started keeping a journal about our interactions together primarily because this is the first romantic relationship I've had and I wanted to make sure I learned from the mistakes I made along the way, but for sentimental value too I guess. Things are going well for the most part, but the 3 month mark is only two weeks away now and I can feel she is still a bit afraid to take the leap. When we are around friends she is very comfortable with PDAs like hand-holding, long hugs, light kisses, but when we are alone she is a lot more cautious to do even those same things.

I was thinking about giving her the journal, or at the very least letting her read it. It is solely about her, not my life in general. Do you think that would be something she would enjoy and that it would help convince her that I really do care about her and I'm not like the other guys that have hurt her. Or would it just be creepy? Is it weird for a guy to keep a journal?
