How should I comfort my best friend from a breakup?

I am a guy and one of two best friends just got dumped. She was really down, and ended up crying in the bathroom with some girls comforting her. I left school right after she came out, so I didn't get to say anything. I really want to comfort her but don't want to push it as if I am trying to be her bf.

    Be there for her, don't let her feel lonely, try to make her laugh. Listen to her sad saga but don't let her get sad and depressed. Be with her physically as much as possible, don't try to get too friendly cuz then either she may not like it and think that your taking advantage or she may just make you her rebound. In both cases you lose, so tread carefully... Stay in the friend zone until she has totally moved on

    Ask her if she wants to hang out..that way you will cheer her up, go out for some ice cream or shake or coffee or whatever..don't bring the whole break up thing unless she says something about it.
