My girlfriend says she dont LOVE ME!

I will try and keep this as short as possible.

I have girlfriend of 16 years old and I am 21 years old. She is in college and at the moment I am unemployed waiting to hear from University.
I have been with her since 31st October 2010 after meeting her a month earlier and I just fell in love with her.

She is very shy and when we have gone and texted and talked on the phone her answers or conversation is quite minimal and I am the one that’s mainly talking. I asked her questions and things but she usually replies with don’t mind, don’t know, maybe, no ,yes etc. Pretty one word answers but as it went on she started to ask me questions and I liked that and I knew she loved me because of the way she was with me especially at times when we were alone together when she cuddled me or let me lay on her, we were confortable. She comes from a strict family with pretty strict discipline (her mother was bought up from a military family) and she has three brothers so it’s not easy for her to talk and show her true emotions and I believe this is why. I love her and I am willing to give her all my energy and love cause I could see us in the future together she just made me love her by her smile, her shyness, personality etc.

Month ago I noticed she started to reserve more and I didn’t know why but at the same time I started to tread my carefully because I was scared of doing something wrong, like I would apologize more and be silly at times. I don’t think I did this because I noticed she was reserved I did it because I was scared of doing something wrong or losing her because I wasn’t being a good boyfriend.
I kept asking her if everything was alright but she said things were ok but it start to get worse, last Friday I asked her finally by text and she told me that she doesn’t think she loves me as much anymore and I have annoyed her recently and don’t make her happy. I asked how I annoy her and she doesn’t know really just everything about me recently. She said she has tried for the past couple of months since she started feeling like this and she has tried to regain more feelings for me but its hasn’t worked, she considered ending our relationship and told me Friday!

First of all I texted her about it, wanted to talk on the phone but because she’s not good at explaining her feelings in person I said to her we will chat on face book and then meet in person the next day. We chatted on face book and she told me a little bit more and I asked her to give me a chance but she didn’t seem very open to try and still felt like she wanted to split. We slept on it and I met her the next day, I wrote her a letter about how I feel and what I want and gave it to her in person and also had a little talk to her. When I spoke to her in person she didn’t seem remotely interested and didn’t seem to care, I know it wouldn’t be fair for me to say that to her because am sure she does. She just gave one word answers again though, Don’t know, maybe, no etc. I asked her if she was upset and she said no. The answers I got weren’t very reassuring but I am feeling a couple of things from her, number 1; If she didn’t want to continue at all and totally give up she would of said to me it’s completely over and not given me a chance to prove our relationship status is still on face book etc. After convincing her she has said she will try with me for a month and see how we go together and if she can build love again, I told her am passionate and love her enough to try but it’s not going to happen overnight, In a month something will probably build if it’s going to. I think if she stops getting “annoyed” like she said, she will become more happy being with me and around me and hopefully she will build the love that she had for me in the first place, Happiness and love is what I want her to feel. Number 2; Am sure she doesn’t mean some things she said like, don’t know, maybe etc. when I asked her about our relationship because sometimes it seems quite cold from her but I know she isn’t, she is such a caring and warm person but I will alliterate that she is so shy. She seemed so negative though about trying but I put that down to her being a little scared because I know she is not the most confident of people and maybe she might scared of actually losing me but hasn’t realised it fully yet.

I am a bit confused but I don’t want to lose her because we had something and I know there is still love there in her heart. I love her with everything and I want to fight for her, she knows I am going to as well. I got a month to try and build love back from her into our relationship but at the same time I don’t “how much” she has got? This is due to her not being very talkative.

I hope you can help and shed some more light for me on this, I have 1 month almost to prove that I am her guy and prove she’s perfect for me, advice would help A LOT and I just don’t want to lose her because I can’t imagine her being with anyone else, it makes me feel down .

I hope you can help
