What should I say to her?

I met this girl a few weeks ago through one of my friends wife. This girl is my friends wife’s cousin and just moved into the town that I live in which is a very small town. We hit it off pretty good the first night and exchanged numbers and have talked quite a bit.

A few things about this girl is she has three kids and a pretty tough past with her last marriage. Her ex beat her up on a pretty frequent basis and she finally left. She is used to assholes and I am a pretty nice guy. She is also really shy. And right now lives with her cousin and my friend.

I have went over and spent the night with her just cuddled up on the couch watching movies and stuff a couple times. Haven’t even kissed each other or anything. Her kids are wonderful and they like me. The only thing is the past couple days have seemed like she is almost ignoring me.

I have talked with her cousin and she said she is just shy and not used to nice guys. She told me she likes me but just doesn’t know how to act around me because I am so nice. We have discussed that both want to take things slow and neither one of us is ready for a relationship right now.

So I guess what I am asking is for some advice on what I should do or say to this girl. For some reason I cant stop thinking about her.
