Guy meets Girl, falls in love, girl doesnt love guy ...

So I met this girl on my course, who i got to know and we got along well. Eventually towards the end of the year I gather up the courage to tell her I like her. However she said she didnt feel the same way. She did this in the nicest possible way and we had a really long chat and despite saying no guy has ever told her they like her and done it in this way (alot of planning went into how to tell her :/) she said she wasnt ready at this point in her life (shes never had a bf before). She said I was the closest guy to her and She was very concerened about losing me as a friend and messaged my friend voicing the same concern. I told her that Id still be there as a friend.. But its hard because i think about her alot. Do you think that I can eventually woo her down ? Im an average looking guy, but like to think i have a likeable personality! Get along with everyone and very socially confident! I make her laugh so humour is there, and there's a connect ion! albeit that of a friend. Basically is this a lost cause? Thanks :)
