Why did she tell me that if she didn't have someone maybe we could have a chance but... ?

Why did she tell me that if there wasn't someone maybe we could have a chance but now she is single she told me she just likes me as a friend?

Because she wanted to keep you mentally hung up on her. Women will tell you that, not because they mean it, but because they still want you wanting them. You're an ego boost that she can tap into anytime she needs it.
A good rule of thumb is this. There is no middle ground with women. Either they want to date you or they don't. NEVER WAIT FOR A WOMAN. If you ask her out and get anything other than an "enthusiastic yes". Then it is a NO. Whenever a woman says I'd date you but... That is your cue to cut bait and move on to some other woman.

What difference does it make? There are only two answers: yes and no. This one is a no.

Probably she had some issues with her boyfriend and at that time she was in search for someone and because you were there she at the moment she said that to you. Now it seems like she found someone else probably that's why she sees you as a friend.

Girls rarely admit to liking a guy, they will try to make you like them first

She was just being nice and told you what you wanted to hear. However, the truth is that you don't appeal to her and never did.

She is jerking you around.
