I think you're making some big assumptions here :) You assume that just because she LIKES you, she can't like someone else. Which is untrue! She is saying she doesn't want to go out with anyone - because she doesn't want to have to choose one and only one person. This is pretty common especially in the early years of dating. Dating is so much fun! Why tie yourself down to just one person when there are so many options! It's not necessarily that there IS someone else she likes. But just because you like a certain book, it's not the only book on your shelf. She wants to be able to do whatever she wants, without being "restricted".

Why does her having fun with dating mean she doesn't like you? She likes you. But she doesn't want to be chained down with you right now. She enjoys hanging out with you, but she enjoys hanging out with other people too.

If you really care about her, then treasure the time you spend with her, and have fun. She's not your possession. Maybe someday when she's older she'll be ready for really just dating one and only one person. But she's not in that frame of mind right now, and either you accept her friendship or you don't. But you can't change her.
