<human>: I recently started dating a girl from work. We work in the same office but never directly together. I found her to be amazing and we hit it off immediately. We'd sneak out for make out sessions and go out after work hours. On the third date she slept at my apartment and I thought we had something great going.

But I noticed she was hot and cold with me, so after a while i confronted her on it and it lead to an argument with her ultimately admitting that her ex boyfriend used to beat her and thats why she couldn't get emotionally close to me. I apologized for confronting her but we were fine. We continued dating but she always told me she didn't want a relationship because she couldn't handle it.

I insisted on trying as I developed stronger feelings for her over the next week. We slept together again and spend and entire day together and had a great time. The rest of the week was ok, with her being distant and telling me this would not lead to a relationship but also admitting that she had strong feelings for me. Last night, she was very personal with me and hinting that we might have something together. But this morning she was cold in her text messages. Again we had an argument about being in a relationship and ultimately she ended it with me. She's sad that she can't be with me even though she has feelings for me. Its hurting us both.

I want to help her, I want to be with her but she cannot get over the trauma of her physically abusive relationship. I have no idea what to do because the closer we get the more she pushes me away and I wont go. I dont want to give up on her or us but I want to do the right thing.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm seeing a girl who has strong feelings for me but can't be in a relationship because her ex bf physically abused her.
