Search Results: getting over an ex feelings

Ok so we're both 19. I met her a little over a year ago. I was good friends with her ex, and his new girlfriend. So naturally, I didn't even give her the time of day. The rest of our group of friends went to go hangout with her instead of us, so it was just me, my friend, and his new girlfriend every day. Until about May last year, and my friends new girlfriend was getting mad at me for hanging out with my friends ex and cut me off basically, and so I split ways with them, and was stuck with his ex, and the rest of my friends that I hadn't seen in months. But then it was just me and this girl hanging out most of the time. We would hangout with our other friends, but not always. We'd usually just drive around or chill at her house during the day and hit up our friends at night. But after doing that for months, it got me to start falling for her. It was slow at first, but now, she's all I want. I can't even look at other girls the same and it sucks. I've asked her if she liked me, and things like that since I met her. She agrees that she thinks I'm attractive, I can make her laugh, she likes my personality, but she says we're too close and doesn't want to ruin it. Which to me, seems like an excuse to me being ugly or annoying. But I've asked her this, and told her to be blunt about it and tell me exactly how she feels. But she got kind of upset in a way, and said "I'm sorry... I'm going to have to play the friend card". Which confuses me so much. I feel like I've been too nice and friend zoned myself and that sucks, because I really like this girl, I've never wanted someone this long, ever, and it scares me. I've known her for 16 months. The longest I've had a crush is 2 months. What do I do?
