Told girl i like her and got this response...

bruv, i feel your pain. I been there too many times. The best solution is too just ignore the b**ch. I dont think she quite understands the sheer amount of balls it took for you to confess your love for her. Especially as its been stored up for 3 years. Just pay her less attention, invest your attention somewhere else, like other girls, playstation, school etc. She`ll eventually come looking for you.. Trust me. You dont know what you have have until its gone.

Alternatively you could just bang one of her close female friends.

Er, if you don't want to be her friend (and being a friend is a different thing from being in a relationship, not a lesser or greater thing) then you should have made your intentions clear from the outset and been accepted on that basis or rejected on it.

You, instead, presented yourself as a friend for whatever reason and she accepted - you've really got no grounds for complaint.

"I really like you, but I like you as a friend. You are an awesome guy: incredibly smart and really funny, but for me just a perfect buddy "

Clearly, she does not feel the same way. I'm just wondering if anyone has been in a similar position and any advice. Is being friends possible?

I don't understand what this girl has done wrong. You told her you like her and she gave you a polite and clear rejection. There is absolutely no ambiguity there. She is not leaving you 'dangling', like someone said. She does not necessarily think she is better than you, otherwise she would not be your friend. She simply does not return your feelings, and there is nothing wrong with that. We can't help who we're not attracted to. She clearly thinks highly of you, so I'd drop your pride and remain friends. You might want some space for a while, which is fine, but please don't let pride get the better of you. I'm sure you'll break some hearts one day, if you haven't already, and probably with far less sensitivity than this girl.

Thanks, i agree, there is no ambiguity. I realise she doesn't feel the same. If you look at my comments, i have clearly said that I will tryto be friends with her. Other people have made strange comments about her leaving me dangling (which she definitely did not - that message shows she values our friendship, which is good).

All i was asking, is advice to deal with this situation because i do want to remain friends with her. Your post is very good for that.She is a lovely girl but it wasn't to be...

I've already told her that we will still be friends, so pride is definitely not an issue.

just don't become her bitch, tagging along everywhere with her, listening to her moan about her boyfriends or whatever
