I was in a similar situation.

After receiving the "let's just be friends" line, I tried to do that for about a month.

It became increasingly painful to be around her and pretend that I was just her buddy. (She was a co-worker.)

I made the decision to completely cut myself off from her-cold turkey, and did so after explaining to her why. (Going as far as quitting the job we were both on.)

I still thought of her and occasionally dreamed about her for years after.

It sucked, but the pain has become duller and smaller with time.
