She reiterated her previous words, which made him believe she had been straightforward with the sort of honesty she wanted from him. There was undoubtedly a fear of speaking the wrong thing, but it wasn't entirely her blame; he could count the number of women he was well-acquainted with on one hand, and one of them was his coworker.

He'd never continued their acquaintance with the expectation of growing attached, but it had happened so fast.
