How to Get a Girl Who Has Been Hurt in the Past to Like You
Getting a girl to become interested in you can be a difficult task, especially if she has been hurt before. Whether she has been cheated on, abused or otherwise mistreated, girls have the tendency to be wearier of becoming involved in a new relationship after things have gone poorly in the past. When it comes to fostering a relationship with someone in this fragile state, developing a sense of trust is truly the name of the game.

Become her friend first and foremost. Your friendship will help her through difficult times and will allow her to get to know you better. Do not aggressively push your agenda on her, especially when she is fragile and finding it difficult to trust people. Instead, hear her out and move slowly when exploring the idea of starting a relationship.

Provide opportunities for her to rethink relationships. You do not have to always be a shoulder to cry on. Instead, plan a fun excursion for you and friends that can help get her mind off a bad breakup. Sometimes just giving her an opportunity to have a temporary departure from her past is the perfect chance for her to get a new perspective on relationships.

Show off your good qualities. You cannot force someone to like you, but you can give her a sense of who you are with your words and actions. Do not feel the need to be someone else; instead, be true to yourself and who you are, and what you have to offer will shine through.

Demonstrate how you are unlike the person who hurt her in the past. If she has been hurt before, it is likely that she will -- consciously or not -- find herself comparing you to the person who hurt her in the past. Show her that you do not have the same qualities that have burned her before.

Help her to establish a sense of trust in you. This can only come from actions, not words. Be someone she can rely on, though this does not mean you have to be at her beck and call. Do not lie to her because if you get caught in this lie it will only further damage your chances of getting her to like you.
