So there is this girl i used to date about 2 or 3 years ago. We are broken up now but still remain pretty good friends. We started talking one day and we started to like each other. She started to get really strong feelings for me. She was asking me if i was falling in love with her. I didnt know how to answer that. I mean i was but i had been cheated on in a previous relationship do i was a little scared to go at this so fast. Anyway she also lives about an hour away which really isnt a big deal cuz we are both almost done high school and are probably gunna luve in the same town afterward. Anyways i told her i couldnt date her cuz of the distance and cuz id rather date somone closer to me. I feel terrible about it. Now whenever i try to appologize and move on she says my appologies are empty to her and that i need to prove to her that im truly sorry. So i guess what i

Trying to ask is does anyone have any ideas of how i can prove to her that i really am sorry, and possibly get her to be able to trust those feelings again. As well as trust me again. Any ideas will be accepted and thank you so much for the help.
