<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

So I have been dating a friend from one of my creative writing classes for the past couple weeks now. We're both into each other, and it's going fairly well in terms of conversation and getting to know each other. etc...

However, the problem is that she rebuffs almost all of my physical advances. I'm not talking anything major either: She won't hold my hand, she won't hug me, and we've been out enough that we should have kissed by now. Hell, we sat down and watched a movie at her place yesterday and when I wrapped my arm around her shoulder she went as stiff as a board. I asked her if she wanted me to remove my arm and she said that she liked it. She has reaffirmed that she does indeed want to continue dating, but there's this huge disconnect between what she says and what she does physically.

It's driving me absolutely nuts. It makes me feel like I'm the problem. She claims it's because she hasn't had a date in the past 5 years and therefore "doesn't date". I don't think I'm asking for much in terms of physical interaction, but to even get her to hold my hand is a battle. 

But I also don't want to seem as if I'm coming on too strong. I want to get a balance between the two of us that we're both comfortable with. But it's kinda hard to do that when all your physical approaches are turned down.
<bot>: Girl I've been seeing rejects almost every single physical contact I've made. It's making me fairly upset. I need advice on how to deal.
