no reason you can't eventually be her friend, though. she's been very honest and straight forward with you. at least she didn't toy with your emotions at all. i would just get the mindset of legitimately being her friend and work on being just that. and when you're ready, come back into her life. that's my two cents. good luck.

Maybe, just maybe, her feelings will change. It is said that, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." If not, you must move on. You are young.

It is really hard to be just friends with someone you like romantically. I think you were very respectful and told her just what you should have. These situations are very hard, but you were very mature about it. I know it hurts. I would not count on it that she will change her mind. I would go ahead and get on with your life. If she changes her mind, I am sure she will let you know.

No I really doubt it. Yes I am sure she valued your friendship and will miss it but you done the right thing here. You would only keep hurting yourself if you continued this friendship, yes it will be hard, but with time and distance you will get over her and move forward with someone else. As hard as it is to accept you just cannot force someone in to loving you.
