<human>: I am an 18 year old, male, college freshman who has been in one serious relationship so far (3 years long in high school). We broke up shortly after I came to college.

Anyway, I've been looking around for a relationship and I met this girl on my floor who is everything I could ever want. I mean, she's beautiful, smart, kind, and she has the same religious views and values as I do. (She's also 18 and a freshman if that matters).

We hit it off this last weekend and everything seemed to be going great. However, there's a problem: She was home schooled, and has never had a boyfriend or been in any kind of relationship before. Last night, she said that she's not ready for a relationship yet, and while I think that's honestly what she means, should I be worried that it's just code for "I don't like you like you like me"?

What I want to know is how to approach this situation. I don't want to end up in the "friend-zone," but I don't want to pretend like she doesn't exist either. She did say that she might be open to the possibility of a relationship next semester. Any and all advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Give me a shortened version of the text
