I would just tell her. This just happened to me twice this year already.
In the first case we are good friends (would text me everyday, went out together a lot), and just one random day I couldn't help but fall for her. I don't keep things inside (read: Models by Mark Manson). I told her, but she wasn't interested, and it killed the friendship for a few weeks, but I just basically left her alone and she came back. As long as you don't become needy it should be fine. Those feelings are still there but I feel like I can manage them now that I have closure and I put myself out there.
It may not happen the same way for you, but getting those feelings out of your head really takes a lot of pressure off. Hell, it may go well.
If anyone in the app development world is perusing here I highly recommend the book "Hooked". Required reading IMO. https://www.amazon.com/Hooked-How-Build-Habit-Forming-Products/dp/1591847788
The above responses might work, but watch out, she might be simply be getting bored. In which case complimenting her all the time will most likely do the opposite of help you.
Be fun. Spontaneous dates. Things like that?
Also read Models by Mark Manson (you don't necessarily need the pickup advice, but everything else is great and could help you understand your situation).
Hope it helps!
so you think you're going to be successful at dating???
sorry, but that's crazy.
If you want a spouse, you MUST know how to make friends first.
Check out Meetup.com. Force yourself. Force yourself to talk with people. DO NOT EVER talk with attractive females. Sorry, it just doesn't work. You must consider your dating indirect: you are looking for a friend to introduce you to someone.
or, keep doing what you've been doing. Up to you
Read the way of the superior man... When you stop caring about getting a woman so much you will be beating them back.

This girl is a good friend of mine and she just needs a little more help to continue going to our school. She's a brilliant and loving person with a real chance of making something of herself (especially with the work I've seen her do). Help a good heart.
I have 24 days left on Kickstarter to raise $ 6,032, so that I can self-publish my novel Love Again. So far, I’ve raised $148, but I’ve been able to raise $ 832 on Paypal acct while waiting for my project to be approved by Kickstarter. I need your help in accomplishing this goal.
On my Kickstarter, you’ll find my video campaign. I also provided an outline of my budget, so you can see exactly where the funds are going to, and I also excerpts from my novel on there. This is not a scam.
Here’s my Kickstarter video campaign.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/melvindavis/the-birth-of-my-novel-love-again
If you could donate $ 5 or more and share my video with your friends/family, that would help me tremendously.
Also, when you visit my Kickstarter page, you’ll see the Rewards I’m offering to donator’s. My pledge amounts range from $5-80, and I’m offering FREE rewards to each pledge tier.
Thanks in advance. I can accomplish this goal with your help.
Get a friend to order and send a copy of The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts to him (that’s where the idea comes from). Then when he asks if you got it for him you can honestly say “no”
The original idea was in the book The 5 Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts
It’s a really insightful book that really can help you communicate love to someone else
Do not waste any more time on her (she sounds like a toxic girlfriend), don't bother trying to get an explanation as it will be a lie.
Cut her off and move on, work on getting your confidence back.
If this has happened to you before more than once, you need to make this your tipping point......start flirting and fooling around with other girls, get back in the gym and hit the weights hard, or run hard or do whatever you do to get your mind off this girl...This is your time - forget about relationships for a while.
If girls keep walking over you, this book may be for you "No More Mr Nice Guy - Robert Glover": http://www.amazon.com/No-More-Mr-Nice-Guy/dp/0762415339
There is a lot of research support, as well as controversy in the field, for the evolutionary argument regarding the link between (threat of) infidelity and jealousy, especially related to sex differences in how different types of infidelity (emotional vs. physical) lead to jealousy. It's not as simple as the quote above suggestions, but it's on the right track. See the work of well-known psychologist Dr. David Buss, including his book "The Dangerous Passion".
