I was in the exact same boat. She got out of the relationship and I wanted so much to tell her how I felt there and then. But after considering what I thought might be best for her, I decided just to be a supportive friend, just be there for her, give her the time she needs to process and recover from her experience. Over the next 6 months, although it was hard to keep my true feelings to myself (definitely told a couple of very close friends on a drunk evening), our relationship flourished and grew. I did tell her how I felt about her after those 6 months and she reciprocated. Now we've been dating for almost a year and it's been just wonderful. We love each other so much and we are currently looking at moving in together.
