You know what also kinda hurts? Realizing that someone's been nice to you or even pretended to be your friend for months/years only because he thought it'd get him laid. Y'all cry about friendzone but realize how bad it is for us as well. Sure, there are girls who exploit it and I despise those, but ya know, pretending to be someone's friend just because there's a chance of fucking them later? Also not nice.
I'd rather be told that, than given a false hope. Besides, she might have some single friends that feel the same about you.
One of her mates could be the love of your life, but you won't go near her because of:

While some girls legitimately lead people on, be aware that a lot of times, girls just have a hard time saying "no," outright. It isn't your fault if you misinterpret what they mean, and there's been a recent push to teach girls to say no before anyone gets confused, but just be aware that sometimes there aren't any bad intentions, just fear of "being rude"
It's difficult to do either. You can tell a boy out right that you have a boyfriend, and you're a stuck up asshole who thinks everyone wants you. Or you dont tell him (or maybe tell him later on) and your and asshole for "leading him on".
