Sounds like she isn't sure if she wants a relationship but doesn't want anyone else to have you.

I would tell her that you agree and you want to try being single too . Then get out there and enjoy yourself. You may find that she will want you back once she knows that you aren't willing to wait like a puppet but think carefully and be sure she wont break your heart again

Be very careful - I and no doubt, others have heard this line before.

She broke your heart and being friends is one thing but don't hang around waiting for her.

She is hoping to keep you on the backberner in case things being single aren't as fun as she thought.

Be her friend and no more. No physical relationship and you need to set yourself barriers.

You need to get out there and meet people and have fun.

If later you both decide it is a good idea to get back together - do it but do it with caution as she has hurt you and could do it again.

Whatever you do - don't be her back up solution. You get out there and be single too. You may meet someone you even like better.

What will be will be but just make sure you protect your heart and don't let yourself get used and put on the shelf whilst she decides if she likes being single - its not fair to you.
