People tend to make friends with those whom they find a connection with - similar likes, outlooks on life, things like that. To do so with a member of the opposite sex adds that annoying little wrinkle to the equation: you've got enough in common to be friends, the person is of the opposite sex, and an attraction starts to form.
Granted, this is not always the case, but it happens often enough that you've gotten responses, right?
If you two have discussed this, and if she's told you flat-out that it's just not mutual that way, then you really need to move on. Take any - or all - of the suggestions you've been given, and if necessary dial back things with your friend.
