I have just been through a very bad break-up myself.

Do you know if it was a bad break? Is the reason they broke up because they really didn't want to be with eachother anymore? Or because they couldn't, but they still want to be?

My breakup started out as not wanted to be with one another but then somewhere along the lines changed to not being able to be with one another.

I started seeing someone during the first phase and it was great, but when it changed to the second it just made things all the more painful and hard.

The guy I'm seeing has just also gone through a nasty break-up, where he no longer wants anything to do with his ex. He's ready to move into a new relationship already.

I do agree with what Uncle Phil says. If you wait to long she could be snatched up again. And also that you should just tell her the truth... That you've liked her for a long time, but you were shy. Tell her you understand that breaking up is hard, but that you'll be there for her and go at her pace.

Good Luck,

Emivia. x

There's no time like the present! Just tell her you've fancied her for ages and ask if she'll give you first refusal if she's thinking of dating again anytime soon. What have you got to lose? If you leave it too long some other guy will no doubt get in there before you, especially if there's a queue.
