Astime - you are NOT damaged goods, you just have a little more healing to do.

Be honest with her, let her know that you still have some healing to do and can't commit to a serious relationship at this time. If she doesn't respond well to that, then you know it wasn't meant to be. Personally, I would be thrilled to have a man say that to do, at least I would know he was being honest (something we have all lacked in our relationships right?)
