People who confessed to their crush thinking it was mutual and was rejected, what happened?

Man this is so me. I met a girl from work while I went to university. During work I would be setting up something and she would always jokingly say I messed something up. We both started doing this to each other and as time went on i began thinking that these were becoming increasingly flirtatious. Our semester ended and I didn't think much of it at first.

In July of that summer before the new semester, I began to like this girl a lot more and eventually messaged her on FB. We began talking a lot and I gave her my number. One day I decided to ask her out for lunch once the semester began and she surprisingly said yes.

We went out for lunch one day and I thought it went great. We both opened up to each other about more personal things in our lives and I asked her if she wanted to do this again some time. She said she would like that.

I'm feeling pretty great about myself now since I had never really dated anyone before this. I thought we began to bond even more and asked her if she wanted to come over one night. Now I didn't really think of this as a sexual opportunity since my roommates were all there. We all just chilled in the living room watching some TV.

So, the next week I asked her if she wanted to get lunch one day and pretty excited thinking it would be a yes because we had been talking a lot more lately. Then she hits me with the whole "I think we should just be friends" ordeal. I'm pretty devastated but hey, I move on and don't talk to her much the rest of semester.

Near the end of Fall semester, we begin to talk to each other again as friends. Well we start to talk again more and more and she asks if we can watch a movie together one night at my place. I say sure and we have a movie night in the living room.

The next few weeks we begin to have more and more movie nights, and eventually this moves to my bedroom where we are both in my bed. Now I'm thinking at this point that there is now something there between us, especially one night where she lays her head on my chest and puts her arm around me.

Time goes on and we're pretty close by the time the next Fall semester comes around. Eventually we have a falling out of some sort and I don't talk to her anymore. Near xmas we reconnect and I finally tell her that I really liked her and wanted to have something more. She tells me she thinks I'm amazing and all this but says she's not in the right place to have a relationship. We graduate and move on with our lives. Sorry, this was so long.

TL;DR Friendzoned twice by the same girl thinking there was more between us
