<human>: Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?

We met about six months ago and she has consumed my heart and mind to the point of my friends worrying about me. We have had a theme of friends that want the relationship to be more than friends for the entirety of the relationship. I have always wanted her to be my girlfriend but she doesn't want to ruin our friendship because: "what if we break up?" even though we flirt constantly and hook up on a weekly basis, so I wouldn't call it "just friends". She constantly goes out with guys that are, for lack of more acceptable words duchebags, and is hurt by them over and over again, simply adding to her depression and mood swings created by family problems. These problems are why I simply cannot leave her, she would be dead in the water without me. I am her only real friend and have always been there for her, she has no family support. She relies on me and I believe we do love each other, in which way however I am not sure of. I have no idea what to do, I asked her to be my girlfriend again last night which is where I got the previously mentioned response. She also stated that it wasn't the right time and "maybe next year". I cannot get her out of my mind, I need help. All questions will be answered. Thank you
<bot>: I like this girl, she likes me, we're best friends but I want to take it to the next level but she is afraid she'll lose me as a friend even though I would never let that happen. Help please!
