<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

I [26M] had been pretty good friends with my [26F] co-worker for nearly a year, sharing a relatively small office three days a week. We've always gotten along really well, able to have candid conversations with each other and regularly spending time together outside of work.

I'd been meaning to ask her out for quite some time, but she had gone through a lot of traumatic personal events in the past half-year or so and I wanted to give her some time to cope. 

In the middle of last week, she had shown that she was ready to be back in the dating game. I asked her out. She rejected. I expected that to be the response, but I had decided that I would hate myself forever if I never at least went for it. I figured that if she rejected me, I would just never bring it up again and we would go on as before (I genuinely enjoyed being friends with her, whether or not there would ever be potential for anything more), with perhaps some short-lived awkwardness.

What actually has happened was much worse than what I expected. She is now seems to be making every effort to avoid or ignore me, deflecting my every attempt at reconciliation. After a stern but civil text conversation, she requested that I stop contacting her (a request with which I am complying, of course). She said that she was unhappy I had asked.

Is restoring our friendship, or at least getting back to speaking terms, a lost cause? Should I attempt to make amends again after letting it sit for a week or two?
<bot>: I asked out a co-worker with whom I was friendly and her response was much worse than I expected, and now our friendship has likely been destroyed.
