While being very clear and direct that I'm not at all interested? I've never really been in this position before as there has only been one other girl that was so forward with me and I was very much into her at the time.

Yup. Give her the "I just don't feel there's any chemistry, here." line.

So, is the friendship pretty much over now? I mean, can anyone really remain friends with someone that has for all intents and purposes rejected them?

Of course they can. Depends on how mature the people are. I've certainly done it.

Times change, remember that before you are cruel to someone. What seemed out of place ten years ago can be spot on now. Don't blow your chances by making it final.

Sure. I've had to do it to someone who was one of my best friends. We're still friends. You just have to give them some time to deal with it, if they've really got it bad for you. She'll probably be a little distant for a while. Just be gracious about it.

Depends on whether she was smart and asked you before she got attached to the outcome.

You can maximise your chances by telling her that the friendship is important to you. It will also soften the blow -- you are not rejecting her, just the romance.

(Of course you have to make sure she knows you really mean it, and are not just giving her the standard 'friendship' line.)

I would simply ignore her advances; she would eventually get the hint I'm not interested. Sure, its not gracious, but whats gracious about being rejected.

My best friend in HS tried to kiss me and confessed his feelings for me. It made things really awkward afterwards. We were never really the same after that.
