<human>: Okay so I have been seeing this girl who I really like for a couple months, things were going amazing she. We would hangout a lot and have great times but we both just got out of long term relationships.

Out of no where she told me she thought we were moving too fast and she didnt know what she wanted and she needed time to herself, this was a huge shock to me as to the things she was saying and the way she would act when we were together was showing she was really into me. 

I started to shy away a bit and she kept texting me etc. I was confused as hell to what was going on, but recently got it out of her that she likes me but is still in love with her ex. Now she wanted to back things off because she wanted to take it slow but also because she didnt want to hurt me or do things behind my back..

This leaves me in a pickle, Ive never been in this situation before, I have no clue what do do, I know she really likes me she shows me, do I just let things continue and show her im better and hopefully she will get over him? Do i move on? Do I play it safe, what do I do?

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: hanging out with girl who likes me a lot but is open and honest that she is still in love with her ex. so she wanted time to figure it out what do i do?
