Time and patience!
What's the pup's history? Is she a rescue? If she's been abused by a man, it will take her awhile to trust you.
We've had several really timid dogs here who wouldn't go near my husband. We try to make it so that he gives the dog only good things--treats, toys, praise. He never disciplines or even raises his voice. He gets to be the good guy!
Taking a puppy class might help too. It's a good way to bond and your pup might gain some confidence from being around other puppies.
Good luck!
