I remember telling a friend that I liked her and wanted to date her. She told me no, wasn't interested. It was weird for about a week, we didn't talk as much. But then suddenly, we just sort of opened up to each other and became absolutely inseparable. We never did date though, but two years of our lives we were attached at the hip. At least until our lives took different directions

I'm actually on the other end of this.

We usually hang out in groups, but she waited until there was a moment when it was just us left and just asked me out and I told her no, wasn't interested. 

It was also weird for us for awhile, but she just kinda focused on her own thing for a bit (she has a son and was dealing with some other stuff).

But, after the initial weird, awkward phase, we're still friends and she still talks to me on a regular basis.
