There are also subtle ways that you can let her know you aren't interested without embarrassing her or ruining the friendship. For example, if there is somebody else who you do like, you could ask her for advice about them, or you could say something that makes it clear you think of her as just a friend, like telling her how glad you are to have somebody like her as a friend. Please don't misinterpret, saying anything like this will most likely hurt her feelings, if she is indeed interested, but in a much gentler way than directly telling her when she hasn't actually said she's interested. By the way, if I may ask, which two boxes did she tick, (it definitely makes a difference).

I would try what he suggested. This will let her know that you are not interested without being direct.she will get the hint
Didn't have the chance yet to say it outright, we often get preoccupied in some activity, and saying it just like that out of blue would be so awkward.
As for the "For example, if there is somebody else who you do like, you could ask her for advice about them, or you could say something that makes it clear you think of her as just a friend"
, there's no one I like at the moment.
