This literally just happened to me wtf. We had so much in common and we went on a great first date, but then I asked her to be my Valentine and she told me there wasn't "romantic physical chemistry" between us.
Welcome to the friendzone! You have to decide if having a friend is ok for you (spoiler alert, it might slowly consume you from the inside as you battle between wanting more and not wanting to go against what she wants), or if that's not what you want just drop it. It's painful at the beginning but better for yourself in the long term.
I guess I'll take the friend, maybe she can introduce me to someone I'm more compatible with?
And as a bonus, you might later ask out someone she knows. If that other gal asks her about you, she'll have a good report because you respected boundaries she put up.
Funny enough, the day before she rejected me, she told me a story of how she's setting up her friend with a guy her friend thinks is cute. But the competition is fierce, I have an average face and below average height and my best qualities take time to get to know.
A woman worth dating will value a kind, respectful man over one with the best looks or height. I'd honestly see a woman valuing height highly as a red flag lol. Keep your stick on the ice, even if it doesn't work out you can learn something from every relationship/attempt.
