So, I've been Friend Zone'd

I should probably explain from the beginning really, shouldn't I? About 3 years ago, my former friend (friend at the time who isn't now. I now call him Cockface as his real name is blasphemy to me so I shall refer to him as such) got a girlfriend named Emma. We all hung out for a bit. Things started off great, until Cockface got paranoid after he realised that I got on with Emma better than he did, so he began bullshitting about me to her and neither of them spoke to me for a year and a half. Hilarious thing is, I didn't even see her like that at the time, I just thought "She's interesting, fun to talk to. Nice girl" nothing more and my intentions were pure. One day, completely out of the blue, Emma banged on my door drunk as a fart with Cockface and a bunch of his friends' friends. Emma used my toilet and invited me out, much to Cockface's disdain. 10 minutes of being out with them all, I'd learned that Emma and Cockface's relationship was on the ropes and Cockface openly admitted to wanting to cheat on her with a random girl at his friend's party because he "found her annoying" to me and his friend, Shaun. How she didn't hear it is beyond me. Anyway, Emma was complaining that she wasn't feeling very well and that she wanted to go back to Cockface's. Cockface refused. Seeing that she wasn't lying, as she was obviously looking quite ill, I'd volunteered to look after Emma instead. We went back to Cockface's house and I kept an eye on her until she fell asleep on the living room sofa. Nothing happened, before you ask. Fast forward to after their breakup, me and Emma continued talking and meeting up just as friends having a good time. She even came to my house to stay the night at mine and we both slept in my bed. Nothing happened, although I was hoping for something to, and she wore some of my clothes as PJs. By this time I'd seen Emma as both a friend and a potential partner (or love interest, if you will) but I didn't say anything and just kept it to myself. One day out of the blue, she admits she has feelings for me and has done since she first met me but was in denial of her feelings. I reciprocated how she felt and more, but keeps me in the Friend Zone because "she doesn't want to ruin the friendship that we have". To rub salt into the wound, she then goes to Uni in another part of the country and gets a boyfriend. Now, we barely talk as much as we used to because everytime she talks to me, it all comes flooding back and I start feeling like absolute shit. I still talk to her and respond, I wouldn't ignore her or anything like that, but just not like I used to. Before I ramble on any more, I'm asking for advice. What would you do? I've been Friend Zoned loads of times, but this one was the only one that really affected me. I felt like she understood me and that we had a pretty strong connection and she accepted me as I was and I adored her for who she was. Given my horrible history of relationships, this was a breath of fresh air for me. But then this happens.

Spoiler:

oh em gee.. :D

Then she dates some random person she meets a week later after clearly stating, when you asked her out, that she's not ready to get into another relationship just yet

Fixed your sentence. Sorry the Grammar Nazi in me couldn't resist.

But yeah that pretty much sums it all up.
