Can I hold my rabbit? Why does she fear me?

Hi there,

I'm a 32 year old first time rabbit owner. I recently bought a dwarf lop from the pet store and although I know how to care for her, I'm not sure how to get her to warm to me.
Some websites say that you should touch them to get the used to you. Others say you should just leave them alone and they will evenutally come to you. So far I have tried both and she pretty much flinches when I touch her or jumps.
Does anyone have any advice from experience?
