Seems that laying your cards on the table was a death-knell for your friendship. I don't understand why some people can't be satisfied with friendship; you needlessly complicated your life and hers, first by desiring someone you knew couldn't satisfy your needs, then by professing your feelings for her, already aware that her feelings for you were platonic.
In other words, you disregarded the overwhelming opinion of the people trying to help you in this thread, and it seems to have backfired on you. You've completely walked into this, and have done irreparable damage to your friendship. Having read the previous posts, this seems to have been a foregone conclusion. Just out of curiosity, is this the outcome you desired?
