Tried to ignore feelings, then confessed love

Developed strong romantic feelings for close friend, she rejected me twice

What I wish I knew
"Her feelings were genuine, but she wasn't ready for a relationship"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be honest with yourself and the other person, and respect their boundaries"
