Girls are fine as best friends, it's only when you fall for them things get... interesting, lol.

I wouldn't talk about how much it hurts though. From what I've seen happen to others, and narrowly avoided myself, that usualy gets a bad reaction back.

And while you are talking, try to pick up hints on how she feels, rather than just wait till you have stoped talking to see how she feels. It makes it easier to tell if you're coming on too strong earlyer.

I think she is just going through a rough patch at the moment, it might not have anything to do with you. Try asking her what's wrong.
