So, when she was getting closer to Lucas, it wasn’t because of love. It was because she didn’t love him enough to fear losing him. She wasn’t choosing the right man… she was choosing the safe man to lose. Remember Elizabeth’s comment to Nathan about loss during Ned’s health crisis.

Love and loss are linked and there is no way to have one without the other. It sounds like Nathan isn’t the only one who gets a second chance. By taking a risk with Nathan, Elizabeth is also giving herself a second chance to experience true love.
