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

I'm in love with my best friend who just got out of a 5 year relationship. She was engaged and her ex called the entire relationship off via text message.

We've been best friends for over 8 years. She is getting ready to start dating a 42 year old man who has an extremely jealous and crazy ex-wife.

I've told her multiple times how I feel about her and she's told me she feels the same way but she doesn't have a reason (in her words) as to why she won't have a relationship with me.

I'm scared that if I try to push the subject any further she is going to cut ties with me and I'll lose her for good. 

I'm worried that she is going to get hurt with this man and that it'll cause her to not want a relationship with anyone. I don't want to lose her because I love her more than she could ever imagine.

Sometimes it feels like she only needs me when she wants something from me and then sometimes it doesn't. Where she just wants to come over and stay at my place for the night. I don't know what to do.
