I want to wait for her, but how long?

[kevinnivek1]

So basically I met this girl about 2 months ago, we've gone through several dates, we always chat, phone talks and such, she's such a sweet girl that recently got her heart broken by some dude, she told me that right from the start but she said she liked me still and wanted a relationship with me. she even introduced me to her mother and on her words im an amazing dude and everything she could ever want for her daughter. thing is about 2 days ago she told me she still needed to close her ex's chapter (not even sure if i should be calling this guy her ex since she told me they were never anything official) and that she doesn't want to hurt me and i should give her some time to heal and then we can go one hundred percent on a relationship, that she just needs time to fully heal about that first, so assuming i wait for her, and that, you know, she is honest with me about that how long should i be waiting for her? she's told me in the past she is getting over it really quickly because im the person she always wanted, so considering that, is there like an adecuate amount of time i should wait?

forgot to say she even told me she's not telling her parents about this and that i please do the same, she says that she doesn't want my parents to think she's just playing with me, but respecting me and wanting the best for me

No offense to the other comments, but nobody heals from a devastating breakup in 3 days lol, we could only wish. Anyway, It’s good that she was transparent about her feelings from the start, but it probably would’ve been better for her to not involve herself with you (or anyone) until she was ready, because now you’ve invested time and feelings, so respecting this decision of hers will be hard. That part was avoidable and is her fault. But as of now, if she needs time then give her that, and leave your options open. I say this because who knows how much space she will need to heal, and if ultimately she decides she either wants to go back to him or stay single and find another guy, then you would be even more hurt, feeling angry for having waited for nothing. So this is me saying to just focus on yourself again, and if you’re still open to trying with her when (and if) she puts romance back on the table then go for it. I’m sure she’s a very nice girl, just going through some stuff and needs space/time.

Usually when I was talking to someone as I was getting over someone else, my feelings naturally gravitated towards who was making me happy. I wouldn't even start to talk to someone if I wasn't open to the possibility. If you still believe your ex is the best for you, no one is going to change your mind unless you're mentally secure that your ex WAS NOT, and moving on is a better choice. So I'm confused where it started and stopped and how that occurred, I'd be afraid of you slipping away so I wouldn't even consider telling you that, but I don't know maybe she doesn't mind making guys think it through. I'm more on the desperate side so I wouldn't risk it. That's what I have to say on that.

Just be patient. Don’t rush her.
