I had no problem telling her I loved her, and one time I even left her flowers on her doorstep when I wanted to surprise her but she wasnt there, so I left some flowers. I didnt do it because I was needy, but because I wanted to let her know I had been around.

These types of things seem shady to me. She's probably feeling like you are rushing the relationship. Those are the types of things people who use other people do. They try to assume that they are in a full blown relationship and it makes her feel like you are forcing her or guilting her into a relationship. If she's been used in the past, she's probably tying in the associations of those who abused her or used her with what you were doing. Since you are attractive, she probably thinks you are a player, in which she will associate all those attributes onto you (meaning you sleep with many women for short periods of time).
She's worried that you are going to hurt her, and she's had too much hurt already, so why risk it?
If I were you, I would seriously tone down the lovey-dovey, romantic stuff. She still like you, probably still loves you, but is afraid of being hurt. Establish that you don't need her, that you just savor time spent with her. Tell her that at the very least you'd still make great friends. Make her earn your affection. If she's of lower value than you, she needs to be contributing and doing stuff to make her feel like she actually is of equal value to you. Guys don't love girls of lower value, they just have sex with them. That probably contributes to why she feels like you are using her. Make her do random stuff for you, so that she has a chance to earn your affection.
So in short: Be a solid guy, stop acting like you love her so much, make her earn the affection you give her, appreciate her and reward her for her contributions, not just for being her, yet.
