Its already too late, you are in the friend zone. Its a very real problem. You have two choices. If you are same sex, back off and keep the friendship, it will mean more to you over time and give him/her self respect to stay away from aholes. That advice and guidance you give will likely keep this person in your life for a very, very long time, likely more so than the wierd relationship post friendship thing.
If you are opposite sex, you can make a move and get incredibly lucky, or, just ride the friendship until it hurts so much you have to move on yourself. As she gets older, there is no way she is going to have an opposite sex friend around; its just not going to happen, future lovers or spouses will never be tolerant, its just not realistic. The reality is if she was interested in you in any way, you would not be on this site asking this, and she wouldnt be with other guys. She likely just likes genuinely being with you as a friend, possibly using you as above but im sure she actually likes you, just not in the way you like.
IIN that I'm in love with my best friend who's goin out with a jerk?
