So I really like this girl part 2.

Confusion seems to be the biggest factor when it comes to these types of situations. I agree with you Cat. The "miscommunication" (or lack thereof) gives one a false sense of hope resulting in potential heartbreak.

The problem with this situation is that you might get people that will offer you such advice as, "well, maybe there really is a chance, so if you feel compelled to wait for her, then wait." I would argue that there's nothing wrong with waiting for her, but don't specifically come out and say that this is what you're doing. As Shape-Shifter pointed out, doing so kinda lowers your value. People in general are attracted to confidence, and if you're willing to lower your value this quickly, she may not see you as a very confident individual.

If it gets to the point where it really starts becoming unbearable to deal with, it might be time to date other people yourself. Of course, there's no need to feel that you should see other people as a means of payback since she's doing it. Instead, look at it as you're trying to meet the right person. All the time you spend waiting on someone could stall (or prevent) wonderful opportunities that may present themselves to you had you not been waiting for this girl.

Honestly, if she means this much to you, I know from personal experience that there's not going to be a single person that will be able to convince you to stop waiting for her. What you'll have to do is weigh the pros and cons of this situation. Ask yourself if you can really see her turn around and say, "okay I'm ready now for a relationship." Unfortunately, I cannot say I've ever heard a woman say this to me after having said that she wasn't ready for a relationship.

Keep in mind, you deserve to feel loved and be happy just as much as she does. Consider either seeing other people, or maybe just convince yourself to be content with being single and just enjoying life. The latter is how I found my special someone

How ya doing, buddy?
