Ofcourse him telling you that will not just make your feelings for him go away, but any romantic feelings that are one-sided are just that! one-sided. My suggestion to yuo is that you see other guys. You can continue to keep this guy as a friend sice you don't want to lose the friendship, but you need to consider that if you do not respect his decision to not be romantic with you...you very well could lose his friendship. So, give him what he wants and find someone who shares and interest in you that matches your feelings for them. You can like someone for a thousand years and that will not get the relationship off the ground because they HAVE TO FEEL THE SAME WAY. If you tried to change his mind you probably couldn't and facing that potential rejection would only do a number on your self-esteem. As far as your "best friend" goes, two & half years really isn't that long. If she was trust worthy, she would never mess with a guy that you have interest in. You really need to watch her because that type of behavior is usually demonstrative of a person's true character and she could do it to you again and the next time it might be with a boyfriend of yours that you have really fallen for. So, if you don't wanna cut the girl off thats your decision really, but you need to consider downgrading her position as your best friend. Maybe to just an associate or just a friend so that she can not hurt you. She may not even want to hurt you, but if she is unhappy with herself she can do a lot of things that you may not understand. If someone doesn't like themselves, you don't stand a chance. I've learned that from experience. If not there is a strong chance tghat you will be sorry you didn't handle her with more caution.I'm sorry if this seems harsh in any way, but I'm giving you my honest opinion and what I've learned from personal experience.
