First: Accept what she told you. This is very important. Second: Get over it.

This
is even more important. You cannot force love. You cannot make someone love you by
"trying to change" her point of view. This can and will not work. It's a complete
waste of time and energy and you might destroy the last bits of respect and
sympathy she has for you.
So, you are in the friend-zone now. Decision-time for you. You have to find out if
you can keep up a relationship to her as "just" a friend. It all depends if you can
stand the idea that you will never have a love-relationship with her. If you cannot
(because it hurts too much), then the answer is clear: Get out of her life. Console
yourself with stuff you like to do, be good to yourself and wait for time to heal.
(Yes, time can heal this -if you let it. Believe me..) Then go out and find a new
love...
If you can deal with the pain and the frustration you might console yourself with
the fact that a friendship -if she allows this kind of relationship- is not at all
something second rate. If she allows you to be her friend that can be a rewarding
experience too... But you should truly be able to open up to a new love
relationship with another woman. If you just hang around her with the false hope
that -somehow- she might see more in you then you are completely wasting your time
and your heart will be broken more than once...
It is the hardest for you if you want to get out of her life but you can't because
for some reason you are seeing her five days a week: She's a co-worker or is in the
same class or your next house neighbor. Then you either have to quit your job,
change the school or move to the next city or you take it upon you and get over it.
This can be quite hard and a real pain, but if you give yourself the chance to
weather this storm then you will come out stronger and wiser. Rest assured: Love
always finds a way back to your life -if you give it enough opportunities to do so.
