So you wanted a little bit of help starting from square one? Let he know that if she ever needs someone to talk to that your are there for her. Girls love that, it opens up the lines of communication and lets her know that you are dependable. If starting from square 1 means starting a relationship, try buying her a flower (they say that your are interested more than startbursts do lol) and maybe attach a sweet note. That will most likely get things going in that direction. I hope this is what you meant. If you have any other questions about this you can email me. Let me know how it turns out!!

From a girl's point of view, Starbursts doesn't hint that your interested. It's a kind gesture, but we're not going to get the hidden meaning unless you make it obvious! :P
Since she just got out of a relationship, I'd give her a little time to figure out what she really wants, whether it's to stay single for awhile or scope out some new guys. But one thing I would suggest is that you always be there for her.
I know guys have heard horror stories about being in the "friend zone" but they're not all true. I've actually considered dating a couple of my guy friends because they were so understanding, considerate, and caring. So be there when she needs you, talk to her when you get the chance.
Once you see her begin to overcome her feelings for the relationship {i.e. hanging out with friends more, smiling/laughing more often, flirting with boys, etc), then I'd ask her out for a movie...maybe as a group date to limit the pressure.

So I think that you need to give her more space to find a sense of life without this guy until she can understand that she really can move on from it all without him by her side. It's very nice of you to buy her candy, but if you truly want to win a girl's heart, you have to be a friend to her at first. Be somebody who isn't just after her for her love, be her friend and then you'll start getting somewhere. Remember, she probably still has strong feelings for this previous guy, so it will take time.
