<human>: *Using a throwaway, this is all quite secret and my friends know my account name*

Me and my ex-girlfriend dated for two and a half years, ending things about nine months ago. We faded in and out of talking for eight of those months, and last month she reached out to me saying how she wants us to be friends. I am open to that, and we both agree we want each other still involved in each others lives in some respect.

Fast forward to about two weeks ago, and things take a step in a very different direction. She shows up at my work, bawling. Apparently, the guy[33M] she had been "seeing" (note: fooling around with), basically screwed her over. When we broke up, we were both still virgins. She was aware I had lost mine some time after we broke up, and apparently she had just lost hers to this guy, thinking that they were going to be dating. Well, that didn't happen, and basically he told her how they could never be together and such. She came running to me, and I was happy to help. We ended up kissing, but nothing more. We have been talking pretty well non-stop since,

Today, we had a conversation about getting back together. She was the one that initiated the conversation, knowing that I want to, however she seemed rather uninterested despite telling me things such as "I feel a really strong emotional connection between us" and "I don't want to close any doors". She is still very hung up on this guy that she slept with, despite it being very obvious he wants nothing but sex from her. We agreed to just let whatever happen happen, and to be friends regardless.

Basically, I'm just wondering on how I should go about the situation. Should I try and just be her friend? Should I try and rekindle our relationship? Any and all opinions welcome, thank you :)

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
