no sense beating a dead horse...but i wanted to chime in as someone who once was on the receiving end of the exact same situation. only, the girl i was seeing let it go on for almost a year. i really wanted it to work, and the presents and flowers and all that stuff kept a very dim flame lit for quite some time. but, looking back, i wish that i had either just wised up a lot sooner or that she just was straight with me from the get go. its the only way to go. after a brief period of awkwardness, we did wind up friends...so it can work out for you. good luck!
