Cut losses. If you find yourself hung up on her, go no contact until you’ve gotten over it. Too many other partners out there to be hung up on one that is having different feelings.
Stay frosty out there, kings and queens.

I was way into a girl and said, “I like you a lot and enjoy our talks, would you like to date me?” She said, “No, not really, but I’d like to still be friends.” And I said no thanks. Not because I was being a dick or anything, but I was too in to her to be friends. We drifted apart and both found someone else that was a better match for each of us.
Honestly, this is the best response. If you’re out dating to find a partner, it doesn’t make sense to stay friends with someone you were interested in, unless you have other interests.
A girl I had started dating friend zoned me. I played it off cool saying “wanna just be casual?” (I didn’t wanna just be casual). Almost 4 years later and we’re still together :)
Girl tried to friend zone me. I wasnt having it. I had already fallen hard. I told her that i didnt think i could be friends because my feelings for her would be in the way. If she ever wanted to pursue, give me a call and ill be right there.
That was 14 years ago. We’ve been married almost 10 years now
Are you still friend zoned?
Nope! The friend zone only lasted like two weeks.
Sorry, only choice is to become a goblin.

That’s like saying “you can’t fire me, I quit!”. Better to either accept it and be happy to have a good friend, or limit contact with that person if you find it hard to be around them knowing that they’re not romantically/sexually interested.

Honest reply is always best:
“I’m crushed and devasatated and will never recover from this. I shall now retire into obscurity, quiet reflection and resentment.”

I wish I could have told my late high school self this.
