Well, I've been best friends with this girl for 2 years. Just recently, I told her that I loved her, and we had a kinda big conversation.

She said that she liked me when we first met...about 2 years ago. She's had about 2 boyfriends since then, her most recent breakup was about a week ago. I asked her if she would ever go out with me, and she said she isn't ready for a relationship again, she said she needs to find out how to love herself before she loves anyone else.
It's hard, I talk to her everyday, and every second I can't help but think about how much I love her, and how perfect she is.
I have trouble sleeping at night, and when I am sleeping I am dreaming about her.

My question is how do I know when she IS ready?

When she tells you.

Why did you say you love her lol? She should be falling in love with you not the other way around.

Its gross the way you say how much you love her but your not even in a relationship.

Yep

I really can't stand that cryptic crap that some girls use.

oh cum on he really likes her and they are close...wldnt you do the same thing

same here it just makes a guy think she dont like him..

Yeh, I'm with her.

How is that cryptic? It's simple. You can't love other people if you don't love yourself in the first place. If you hate your life, and don't feel good about you, then how can you love someone else?

Look after #1, then all else will follow.

who ever said you had to be in a relationship with someone to love them?
its sad. he has really really strong feelings for her. and its not like he can help it.

This made me laugh a little

It's not like she's some girl I met yesterday, I've known her and been best friends with her for nearly 3 years, I can't have these feelings for her?

Thanks for telling me, man.

I know it sounds hard, and easier said than done, but be patient, hun. She'll tell you when she's ready

Lots of love,
Lissa xx

Its just dumb, your seem to needy. Shes known you for 3 years as a FRIEND not a potential lover im sure she would no if shes ready or not to be with you. I don't care if you laugh, you have no idea.

You can have those feelings, but telling her could have easily creeped her out or made her uncomfortable.

if she recently just got out of a relationship though, it'd be hard to decide what she really wants. trust me, you have noooo idea how a girl feels about things like these. yes, theres a possibility that shes only saying that because she doesnt want to hurt him, buuut maybe she just really does need to figure out what she really wants before she makes any decisions.

she will most likely send you signals when she is ready.
just dont miss the signals she sends

Dont give up on her, that would be a mistake.. and while it's still fresh in my mind short hand typing is fine.. you know.. abriviations and all that good stuff.. but be mindful of how you abriviate the word "come".. especially in the relationship section of a forum, m'kay.

Alright, onto the topic at hand, be there for her. Help her when she needs it, give her a shoulder to lean on, continue to be her friend and a person she can trust. She's going to feel a little down after a breakup we all do it's perfectly natural and no reasonable person is going to be willing to risk heart ache again right after their heart was just blown into peaces. Pick up those peaces and stitch them back together.. or if you're feeling bold, let her know how you really feel.

Tell her that you're willing to wait, that you will not push her or force her into a relationship.. and at the same time, explain to her how much she means to you, how you are unable for an instant to push her out of your mind.

She will eventually give you a sign when she is ready and you will know it when you see it.. well signs actually. Keep your eyes open however, don't look too much into it. That's one of the bigest mistakes you can make. I hope I helped some.. I sound kind of contradictory to myself actually but all well.
