For the past month or so, I have been helping this girl get over her past relationship with this guy who cheated on her amongst other things. A month later, she is still having trouble getting over him and the pain that he has caused her, which I completely understand. The problem is that in helping her, I have grown to like her myself. She doesn't want to begin a new relationship, and I have not pushed her or told her that I do like her because I am worried if she knows she will stop relying on me and talking to me. I would wait for her forever to be able to overcome the hurt the other guy caused, but I also dont want to lose her to someone else when she is ready. Should I tell her i like her, and tell her I'll wait as long as she wants? Or do I not tell her and keep waiting? Or should I be her friend, but forget about ever being her boyfriend?
What do I do?

Tell her, it can't hurt her to know your true feelings :)
It is amazing what can transpire in a few hours. I don't have this problem anymore, it appears that my decision was made for me...I think that maybe I misunderstood my feelings for her, and that really I was just experiencing a great feeling at being able to help her. Today after I wrote that message, I met the most amazing person here on tengaged, who lives close by, and I think may turn out to be an amazing addition to my life. Yippee!!
