So as of recently I got into a friends with benefits relationship and the two of us decided to fool around which included making out and having sex obviously. So last week and we agreed to have sex and go on a date afterwards and so we did just that and she was my first time so I regrettably developed some feelings for her considering the date went so well for both of us. We then decided to do the same thing this Monday and it was a sure fire thing and she even sent me nudes yesterday. However, yesterday she invited me and a couple of her friends to a pool party at her apartments and we didn't talk as much to each other and just when I thought it couldn't get any worse one of her friends pulled her to the side for a long time to tell her something that made her seem emotionally distraught. Later on I said I had to go back home because everyone else was leaving. So that brings us to today, I woke up and checked my phone and there was a message from her that said she was thinking Monday's not a good idea for her right now. So me and her texted for a while and she pretty much told me that she shouldn't be seeing people out of lust or loneliness on account of her breaking up with someone a month ago. I then asked her if that meant that any chance of us hooking up would be shot down and she told me she would still be down but now's not the time for her. I'm still a little confused what she meant by this however.

So what do you think I should do if I have feelings for her and I want to have sexual encounters with her still but I want relationship later on? Should I tell her straight up about how I feel or simply give it time to heal?
