It seems that I have been receiving this 'calling' to protect this girl I love, despite the fact that I have told her my feeling and she said she just wanted to be friends. I have been helping and protecting her for some time, but not in very obvious ways. However, I have always been receiving this urge and calling to protect her and feels that I am destined to protect her. Should I go for it?

I think you should consider why you feel the need to "protect" her. Is it something going on in her life that she needs protection from? Or is it your need to save someone?
If she legitimately needs protecting and is in a dangerous situtation, you should speak to her about the situation and offer her support in leaving it. She has to want your help for your "protection" to work.
If it's just because you want to "protect" someone, and are focussing on her for some reason, you should withdraw from the situation. This is something that you need to work out on your own, and not impose on someone else.

Stand down. She just wants to be friends. If her feelings for you change she will let you know. Why do you feel the need to protect her? Because you love her. Don't cross the boundary she has set for you. Stand by and be her friend only if you feel you can. If not move on.

You can't protect her....the right word is to help her if she is going through difficult time.
Take care !

If she does not want it, and you persist, you would not be a friend, you would be a pest.
