You should just avoid her because she though of you as a friend and is afraid you like her. Nothing you can say will change her mind and it's a bad idea to try to do anything about it.

Thanks for your advice. I will just mark it from The Family and distance myself from the thing. It kind of makes me feel like an ugly creep that someone would start acting like that just from a genuine compliment but that's life I guess.

What you fail to understand is the females response to male compliments is solely based on your level of attractiveness
