I think he's saying run because of the short length of dating time preceding this pivitol point. I would be a bit surprised that after only one month, she loves you so much that it's hurting your relationship.
I don't think you can force someone to see this, but relationships can be wonderful, even if they end. If a life ends with a horrible death, it's still worth living.
I used to be alot like your girlfriend, though I was more afraid of hurting myself than someone else. It sounds odd, but there's a passage in the book "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint Exupery that totally changed my mind. I'm going to be really cheesy and post that passage.
Quote:
But if you tame me,
it will be as if the sun came to shine on my life.
I shall know the sound of a step that will be
different from all the others.
Other steps send me hurrying back
underneath the ground.
Yours will call me, like music out of my burrow.
And then look:
you see the grain-fields down yonder?
I do not eat bread.
Wheat is of no use to me.
The wheat fields have nothing to say to me.
And that is sad.
But you have hair that is the color of gold.
Think how wonderful that will be
when you have tamed me!
The grain, which is also golden,
will bring me back the thought of you.
And I shall love to listen
to the wind in the wheat. . ."
...
So the little prince tamed the fox.
And when the hour of his departure drew near---
"Ah," said the fox, "I shall cry."
"It is your own fault," said the little prince.
"I never wished you any sort of harm;
but you wanted me to tame you. . ."
"Yes that is so", said the fox.
"But now you are going to cry!"
said the little prince.
"Yes that is so" said the fox.
"Then it has done you no good at all!"
"It has done me good," said the fox,
"because of the color of the wheat fields."
