In love with a friend during reboot

Hi everyone and first of all sorry for bad English. I'm 21 years old. I'm going to tell you my story. I was in a relationship with a girl until 8 month ago, when we broke after 3 years together. I think that the main reason that took us to the end was my masturbation addiction, as well as anxiety and depression problems. When we kept apart I couldn't get a strong erection, I used to tell her that this happened becouse of anxiety, but now I realised that maybe the masturbation could be the reason. In effect I used to masturbate every day and 3-4 times a day. I began to masturbate in this way when I had a strong anxiety problem and in those days the masturbation was the only way to get relaxed. But also when I had solved my anxiety problem I couldn't stop masturbating in that way, it was a real addiction and this got on for 3 years. In the end we decided to break. Now I'm triying with all my strength to get off this situation, which is really pulling me down, and I began a rebot. I won't masturbate anymore.
But here's the problem: I think I'm in love with a friend of mine. I knew her about 2 years ago, we follow together university lessons. But exactly when I broke with my girlfriend, she got in a relationship with another boy. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think that she could like me, but I also think that she is a great friend, and so I don't want to ruin her life. I had strong erection problems in my last relationship and i think that also if she would leave her boyfriend and stay with me I could spoil her life with those problems... Problems that surely she doesn't have with her actual boyfriend. I know that also assuming that my problems are caused by masturbation addiction it takes several month to get back to normal. So I may wait. But I also think that if I wait too much she could reinforce her love for her boyfriend, and destroy the possibilities to get her. Additionally this is our last year of university together and after June I will see her very less than now, becouse we live in two distant towns. But I'm not sure that I would have those problems with another girl too. Maybe with my ex girlfriend the erection problem was amplified by a decline in desire caused by our frequent quarrels about our situation. I know that the wise choice is to not do absolutely nothing with my friend, but I would like to have some opinions.

 

Thank you for your answer. This situation is so frustrating. If I didn't have this problem I would certainly try with her. Is it possible that this problem have to ruin life in this way?
