My crush is heartbroken, what can/should I do?

[Gaaab]

The situation:
She's my friend, and I have a massive crush on her.
She was in a relationship until recently where they broke up, and she seems very heartbroken about it. At the same time she's also dealing with stress due to university and exams

What I'm doing:
I'm trying to be there for her, and support her through this rough period, without trying to hit on her, and she's accepting the shoulder I'm offering.

Why I need your help:
I like her very much, but I don't know what I'm allowed/not allowed to do. Can I tell her about my feelings while she's so stressed out? When can I? How can I know that the time is right?
and girls, can you please give me tips? What would you want your guy friend to do (to cheer you up) when you are heartbroken? and is there something I can do, that could make her like me, or at least agree to see me in that light?

It won't matter what you do because you are presenting yourself as a friend (as you always have done). This is partly why male to female friendships are often a lie, or end up being so in time.

What you are doing is being the shoulder to cry on, but without the generation of attraction, sexual tension, teasing, flirting etc etc, nothing is likely to change.

Unless she is already attracted to you, telling her how you feel won't make a difference.

If you want her to like you, then you need to understand how to build attraction. This is much easier when you present yourself from the start as a lover, rather than as a friend.
