Yo Bad MO FO, you just said the perfect thing. "I just wanted her to know that I would do anything for her and for her not to be afraid to talk to me or ask me for anything to help her out." That's it! That's the line. If you tell her this, you'll get your point across and she'll know. Don't use the L word. Chicks need space. Tell her that when you two are alone together, then move the subject along. Then she'll know you care about her and you're there if she ever wants to get more serious. Until then, have fun and date different people, if you two are meant to be together you will be.
