ovrrnw, your choice appears to DB and push through the "crappy" feeling while doing it. OR, you can become her friend for life.
Personally I'd opt for the 1st over the 2nd. Even if that meant eventually we aren't together.
You can't nice her back. You can't friend her back. You can't hang with her back. There may come a time when she decides that she wants to R, and that you decide hanging is one of the ways to make that happen. Until then she is trying to have her cake and eat it too.
