It's No Use Kidding Yourself

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and get out there! ( I mean this in an entirely encouraging manner please take no offense) If this doesn't work then try again with someone else. it will be her loss. https://i.imgflip.com/6so6bh.jpg and not to discourage you, but love at first sight is very rare; not impossible but very rare. it is often confused lust at first leer. Just keep that in mind when you think about these situations.

You never know until you ask, I had my best friend like the one person in the school who seemingly hated her. They've been dating for a few years now. Have confidence, try anyways. We believe in you!

Even if she still doesn't like you, it's HER LOSS! She doesn't deserve you! :D

I appreciate your kind words. She knows how I feel about her, but it's more complicated. She's a really good and wonderful person, and although she doesn't feel the same, I don't want to lose the friendship I do have with her. I did this to myself, and I have to work through it. It's just never an easy process, and I don't want to be a burden to her. Nor do I want how I feel about her to make her uncomfortable. She seems fine with it, she tells me. For now. But thank you, again, for your words of encouragement.

Np, good luck! But dw, the imgflip family is here for you! :D
