Okay, I'm a girl and this is my first post on this site, so bear with me.
My god, I'm in an ex situation right now and I'd die to have him tell me what you told her! Give her time to figure out how she feels about you. Yeah, you were pretty ballsy by telling her you loved her still, via text, but that's cool. She may have been a bit taken aback by it, but she obviously still cares for you if she told you.
On the [/i]other
hand, that might have been a slight deterrence for her true feelings...she might just be saying that she cares for you, but isn't ready to try things again, or at all.
I'd say take things VERY slow and try to meet up with her for coffee or lunch sometime soon. Just get back to being friends before anything.
