<human>: First time poster please be gentle :)

I have been friends with this girl for 8 years.  Well recently she has gotten into trouble and is going to be in jail for an undetermined amount of time.  Recently (3 months) she tells me that she loves me.

Well I'm an emotional cripple and was iffy at start but came around for fear of nobody else out there for me.  I told her about this iffy feeling and she kept on it.  She was telling me that I was stuck with her and that she never wants to hurt me.  

I have kept in contact with her and told her that I was ready for whatever.  She then said that she wasn't going to hold me to her because jail relationships don't work.  I really didn't know where to turn to and would respect all advice.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Girl tells me that she loves me and then backs down but still says she loves me.  I have no idea what's going on.
