Why couldn't she just say it when i asked her, so i could move on ?

Sent a message to this girl I've liked for over a year, We text everyday, she would come to see me at work somtimes. Saturday gone we met up, went to the movies and then went to the local park and sat and talked for 3 and hlaf hours almost none stop, laughed alot, her mainly at what I was saying, hardlies any silence. Signs seemed good

 

The jist of the text was that I liked her as more than a friend and wanted to know if she felt the same and that if she didn't fair enough but I couldn't just be friends and would need to leave things if that's just how she saw me

 

She text back saying she did like me like that but because nothing seemed to happen and I was always busy that I wasn't interested so kinda got over the idea and just thought of me as a friend really. She also said if I didn't want to see her it was fine,she understood, whatever was best for me.

 

So figuring I had nothing to lose I went for it and just told her I liked her and wanted to take things forward and make something work with us and that I didn't wait this long to give up straight away. She replied saying she hadn't thought of me like that for a couple of months and that she didn't know, and that if I thought we couldn't be friends, then its upto me and that she got it.

 

So I replied saying if she didn't like me that way and nothing was ever going to happen then to just say now and i'd move on and I got it but she needed to say that so I wasn't waiting for somthing that wasn't going to happen. I thought she would reply saying nothing would happen and we would only ever be friends but she didn't reply all,

 

Why go out just the 2 of us to a park and talk and agree to she a movie if she didn't like me anymore and why can't see just say ''i don't like you that way anymore and never will again and nothing will happen with us'', just to let me move on from her ? Should I take it how it is and move on ? Is there any hope for us ?

Finally told me and put the final nail in the coffin -

 

''I used to like you, but realized that I liked you more as a friend and don't want to jeopardize that''

 

Friend zone ? No thanks.
