What's going on? (or My Life Now)

So. A lot has been going on. When I was in Georgia for EFY I visited my old ward. I was seriously thinking about moving back home. But I just had this definite feeling that that was not where I was supposed to be. So I got back to Provo and had one week to decide where to live. And work.
I’m still at Cinnamon Tree (I just can’t seem to leave this place!). The new ward seems pretty cool though. We do a lot of stuff. But staying here led to the problem of employment. I needed a job. I must have applied for at least 30 jobs. And then I called my buddy Shaun. When I talked to him he told me to apply for where he works. Now Shaun works for a web hosting company. I know a little about computers, but not much. I did not think in a million years that I would get the job. In fact, after waiting for a week I kept applying for more jobs. It wasn’t until Thursday, as I was pulling into a place for a job interview, that I received a call offering me the job. I’m making a decent salary and am gainfully (whatever that means) employed. So things on that front are falling in to place.
Now comes the girl situation. It’s kinda weird, to be honest, and I don’t know what to think about it. I usually try to keep my options open until I find someone that I’m really interested in. I date, but not that much. Until I got my new job, money was always a big limiting factor. But that’s beside the point.
There’s a girl in our complex that I met a few weeks ago. It wasn’t until last Saturday that we started to hang out. We even went on a date on Tuesday. This girl is definitely not like other girls that I date. At first, I was totally romantically interested in her. I mean, she’s fun and pretty and all that other stuff. But the more I get to know her the more I realize that I kinda only want to be really good friends with her. I’m not really romantically attracted to her. So what the heck should I do? I don’t want to hurt her feelings. She’s had a really rough life. So how do I tell her that I just want to be friends and not date her? Any help would be appreciated.
