 Be there for her if she needs to talk. I don't know how upset she is or who broke up with who but don't rush into anything too quickly. Let her get over it first. Act like a gentleman and friend and don't take advantage of her while she's in a vulnerable state. She might only go with you on the rebound instead of getting over this guy first. Talk to her, let her know you're there if she needs a shoulder to cry on and in time ask her out on a date yourself.

Well, I'm going to assume that by close friend, you mean someone who you're capable of talking to and being around quite often, because if this is the case, I believe you're all ready in the setup to be the rebound (for a lack of a better word).The best thing you can do for yourself is be there for her. A lot. It'll mean more to her than you'll ever know just to have someone that will listen. Ask her how she's been doing and see if she gives you any kind of details (in any sort) on what happened. Talk her through various issues and see if you can fit in some reassuring or calming statements. Trust me, it'll mean a lot to her.The next best thing, although pretty close to the best thing, is hang out with her a lot. Whether it's just you two, or with some friends of yours (or hers), associate with her a lot and be around her just as much. Show her how (and who) you are and how you are different from the man she she broke up with. Maybe go out to eat, go bowling, play some pool, anything.Once you start building up the relationship even more, see how she would feel about becoming more than friends. If you like and enjoy the time you've spent with her, tell her. Let her know what she means to you.If you ask me, that's what I'd do. Getting to know her a lot more than you all ready do and being there for her are the best things you can do to help the problem. Having someone you can trust means a lot, especially after a breakup.Best of luck, my friend :)
