<human>: Hi, what's up guys. Thanks for all the help Reddit is sick. 

So, 8 months ago my first love broke up with me. Just to say, I was a wreck. Easily got depressed for maybe 3 months before I snapped out of it a little and it took me around 7 months to get comfortable and not give a crap about her or what she does with her life. 

I've been speaking and hanging out with this girl for a while. I like her. She's beautiful, sweet, she's kind. I wanna ask her out, I know she likes me but I don't want to get close to someone again to watch her leave. Sorry if this sounds cringy lol. I guess I don't want to get close to someone (intimate, love etc...) because I do not want to go through that again. 

I'd just like some advice from people who've been in the same shoes as me. Suggestions? Advice? It's unlikely to work since we're both in university right?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: might start dating this girl, but I have commitment issues. I don't wanna be hurt and I will definitely not hurt her.
