Honestly, her saying that seems to me to be just an excuse to let you down easy, meaning she doesn't actually have feelings for you, but she didn't want to upset you by telling you that flat out. So you should really move on. Not to mention, so much will change in that year until you go to college. You both will probably be 2 very different people by then. And I kinda agree with Marcus on the whole "the next person I date will be my future wife" thing. Are you serious? Do you honestly think that you can just date one person and have it turn out to be love? A lot of the time you have to date many people before you find the right one.
