Hey all, 

After reading the rules I'll keep this short. I'm 24 and so is she, I'm male if it wasn't obvious. 

Basically I few years ago I lost (At risk of sounding young and dumb) 'the one'. I never got over her and ended up realizing I liked her so much that no matter who she ends up with I will still suck it up and be the best friend I could be. 

We didn't speak for about a year and a half before I manned up and said sorry for being a total dick during the break up, which she tried her GOD DAMN HARDEST to make as easy as possible for me. I tried my hardest to make it as hard as possible for her.

Anyway, skip to now it's been about a month and we have been talking pretty much every day and fooled around once or twice. It's all fun at this point but the 'It's just fun right?' conversation came up the other night and it made me think really hard. I'm obviously lying to myself, it seems to means more then just 'fun' to me. 

I want her to live life, I want her to experience the single life that she has been missing out on through her prime 20's... I also want to be with her for as long as I can possible keep her interested. 

I wont go into the sappy stuff but my question is, minus not talking to her every day and making me feel like I'm forcing her to think of me what can I do to make a point of how much I do really like her without pushing too hard or should I just keep waiting and living life hoping for the best? I have told her flat out what she means to me but it didn't really have an effect by the looks of it. 

I don't want to do anything too 'lovey' or pushy like take her out on dates or buy her random things, I have thought about sending her flowers and the sorts anonymously as she said she always wanted that to happen but she only told me that like 2 weeks ago haha, so maybe not yet. 

Thanks for any advice! <3

I'm 24 and lost the girl of my dreams. I don't know how to make it work. I don't know how to make her feel like she still has a chance if I don't do anything too crazy.

I like my ex, she likes me back, I want her to experience single life, not to push for her but to enjoy the experience. What can I do to make it easier?
