<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Me and this girl have worked together for about a year now. we had become a couple back in November of last year. because of a past event I had with a ex I vowed I could never rush into something after I truly hurt someone. it was an event I could never shrug off. when me and the new girl became a couple I told her I truly like to take things slowly and she was in surprise to hear that from a guy and was actually happy to hear it. I am somewhat of a quite guy but I made sure to try my best to make her happy with small gift such as random flowers or with little things I made for her. she has a fairly outgoing personality and gave me a reason to smile everyday. Here we are nearly three months after we got together when she decided to txt me and tell me that our relationship felt like a friendship. she wasn't wrong. in my fear to hurt her I waited to long to make a well placed advancement towards her. she told me that if we were friends not much would be different and its a little pointless to be dating then. we are still somewhat talking as friends at work but I cannot bare to not be with her. in recent news the breakup took a bad turn on my thoughts and I spent the last few nights sitting out on my car in the middle nowhere. upon which I decided I should make closure with the girl whom I had hurt long ago to which she actually forgiven me and I finally feel like I was able to forgive myself. I know now I want the girl I am working with back and I am ready to push things forward but I don't know how to approach this. I want to just talk to her and tell her how I feel but I am in fear she wont take me back. my current plan is just to focus on rebuilding our friendship while attempting to send her more intimate body language to which I may be able to get her to become interested in our relationship again. I would really like to hear your input reddit. also I am sorry for grammar... never been good with it.
<bot>: I lost someone great to me because I was afraid to make and advancements in our relationship past kissing and holding hands in fear of hurting them.
