I told her i cant be just a friend... and she was hesitant to let me go...?

come on she's being honest about she's telling what she wants and if you can accept what she wants then its time to move on i know its not a good feeling but she's being honest, because other people will just go behind your back and do terrible things so my guess would be to start releasing your feelings towards her otherwise the biggest the fall is the more you end up hurt..
