<human>: I met a girl on OKCupid just over 2 months ago.  We're the only people each of us hangs out with regularly.  In the time since I met her I developed a bit of a crush.  I wasn't sure how to proceed and I posted [here](

I decided to tell her how I felt yesterday and she said, "I thought we were just friends... I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything but I just think of you as a friend, I like someone else."  And she went out on a date today with 'someone else'.

Going into this I wasn't exactly expecting a favourable response.  I've never been in an actual relationship before and this is the first time I've really put myself out there.  We're still going to be friends.  Just hanging out is still fun, but I feel heartbroken nonetheless because she seemed so perfect.

I've never had to deal with this kind of thing before.  How does one cope when it seems like their whole world is crashing around them?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: I worked up the courage to tell my friend how I felt about her and got flat out rejected.  How do I even cope with this?
