Is there any way to make her prefer me over him?

Hi I have just been through the single most painful rejection of my life. The girl who rejected me has been a good friend since I moved here. She has been the only person that I have been able to open up to and has helped me through some tough times. I have had feelings for her for some time now and have never had the courage to ask her out. I finally managed to find the courage to ask her out yesterday and she replied that she wasn't sure how she feels about me and would have to tell me the next day (today). Now although she is not my girlfriend I feel the sincerest love for her but for obvious reasons I cannot tell her that as it would scare her off. Today she talked with me in private and told me how she couldn't stop thinking about it all night, and as it turns out she likes another guy. When I heard this I put on a brave face and told her that it was no problem, but once I got home I couldn't stop crying, I have been trying to think of a way to make her prefer me over this guy. And though it may sound bad I was wondering if there is any way to make her change her mind and prefer me over this other guy?
