This sort of thing is why companies have non-fraternization policies. Someone senior to you made advances, you spurned them, and you pay the price.
Very hard on you, but it was "normal" for her to do this, since it was a case or her or you. It's the sort of thing that can be expected in such situations, although it's cold-hearted and dishonest.
The only thing that confuses me is you saying you were "heartbroken" when she stopped paying attention to you. If her advances were not wanted, why were you emotionally distraught when they stopped? Considering that you had apparently chosen to torpedo a pet project of hers, what did you expect? You say you "stopped it [the flirting] by refusing a joint project". This is the only way you could see to make it stop? Seriously?
... that my female manager flirted with me then denied it? (I'm a girl)
