<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

First off, I apologize for my English - I am trying my best to make it clear. 

OK so we have been introduced through someone because we are both new expats in the same country. 

So we met at the airport - it was our first day here. We went apartment searching together, went furniture shopping together, and mainly went through all the 'expat procedures' together. 

I helped her a lot with all the handy work at her new apartment, so last time after installing her washing machine she jumped and kissed me. She is really beautiful, smart, funny, nothing is wrong about her. 

But I haven't been in a nice relationship for a few years now and I feel like I want to find someone my age, shares the same interests, and just kind of settle down a little bit - girlfriend/boyfriend way. 

As for this friend, she is about 10 or so years older than me and that's just not what I am looking for at the moment. I am actually meeting a nice young lady at the gym and we're kind of getting to know each other.

But, my friend just got a divorce a couple if years ago and to better understand this: divorce in our society is still very uncommon, I know because when my mom got divorced I was by her side and I saw all the sh*t she had to go through. 

So I guess my friend is passing through the same. 

So we have to understand that she is exceptionally fragile at the moment, and it seems like she needs someone. I tried to become her friend but she keeps implying *every day* that she needs more from me. 

To make it worse, we both now live in Iraq - so it not very easy to find a 'partner' here even among expats.

I know we are new friends, but being from the same country and coincidentally moving to the same city in Iraq at the same time and going through all the tough times here in this lonely town just made us open to each other. 

She is a very nice person and I don't want to hurt her feelings.
<bot>: How can I explain to my already heartbroken older friend that I just want to be friends, without hurting her feelings?
