Honesty, Honesty, Honesty.
Think about it. If all your girlfriends had broken your heart in one way or another, you'd be a little apprehensive about dating. Especially someone that you might like...or worse yet...fall in love with, only to be hurt again.
Suck it up, tell her that you think she's the most beautiful women you've ever met inside and out-and mean it. Talk about why you feel this way about her. Here's the trick though. You have to do all this without coming on too strong.
Love is a tough thing. I think if you really put yourself out there, take a chance-so that she can see it-it'll work out.
Try reading Leo Bascaglia's book "Love." ( I know this sounds fruity, but try it. ) After you have read it, try to live by it, then, discuss it with this woman. (Kind of "metrosexual", so don't tell your friends about it.)
Finally, try to put yourself in her shoes. Think about how you feel when an attractive, interesting and generally cool woman tells you how great you are. It feels good, but if you'd been burned almost everytime you had dated, you'd be scared as hell. Make sure that you want this girl though. No one deserves a relationship with someone that is luke warm about them. It's just too much work. You gotta be stupidly in love with them, because that'll get you through all the times that you want to leave them.
Best of luck.
