[Face Up.]

Honestly I think the only things to do are either give it a try or stop trying to pursue it. If you don’t pursue it you have the option of being friends if you want to, but if you do that set boundaries on what you are or aren’t willing to talk to or do so you’re less likely to feel hurt. But it might help to try going on a few dates with them, even if it’s something like grabbing lunch or coffee. It sounds like a situation where you have to go with the flow.
