Going on my own personal experience, you'd probably better going your seperate ways now, as difficult as that may seem. If you have feelings for her that are beyond friendship, you will always be expecting more from her than you will get, and you will most likely end up losing her friendship anyway at some point. Maybe not this year, maybe not next, but sometime... I say this because I have experienced it myself. The whole platonic thing can only work in a case where neither partner has any vestige of physical attraction to the other. I know this isn't what you want to hear, but it is what I have come to realise the hard way and you probably will too.

reassure her that you would always be there for her and would handle things well if you break up ~

Give her time. You have already told her how you feel. Much better to have her as a friend than have nothing atall.

Good Luck !
