I am very much convinced that that phrase is
about the cruelest in the english language. How's
this for a very rought translation:

"I like you, I want to be friends, but I don't want to jump your bones."

So your choice is to back off for a while, or
permanently, or decide whether your like her
enough to be a friend, without all the other
baggage thrown in. The friendship can be very
powerful, but it does take work. Infatuation is
fantasy.
