I'm worried if this keeps going we may end up not talking whatsoever. If it meant i'd have to just like her as a friend again i'd rather that, than have no contact with herin my life. What do I do?

Then ask her if she wants to remain friends. Promise to be a good friend; even though you really feel more. Don't worry, I don't think you will lose all contact with her. She's just backing off.
If she wants to remain friends, and you want things to be the way they used to; you have to behave the way you used to. No weird stuff to make her nervous.
Don't scare and confuse her by buying her things and making her feel guilty. You can't bribe her into changing the way she feels. It's already awkward, and you will only make it worse.
If you find that it's too hard to only be a friend, or that you get jealous when she is talking to other boys. You didn't keep your promise. That means you are not satisfied just being a friend. You need to take some time-off and away from her. Hangout with other girls for awhile. It will give your feelings a little time to change.
When a girl doesn't have the same feelings for you as you have for her, the mature thing to do is to accept it. You will be very brave and mature for doing this.
You can't force people to feel they way you want them to.
