You told her how you feel.
But, from your post, you did not officially ask her out.

This is a good point. I'm thinking that all her "well we're not really going out" could have been a pretty strong hint that she WANTED you to ask her out, and when you didn't, she took that as being friendzoned herself. The new dude just moved in where you held back: that makes HER feel more attractive, and thus makes HIM more attractive to her.
So, like Marshall says... do the ol' Rom-Com thing, sweep her off her feet, give her the old "It's you and me, baby" and show her that you're more than just talk; show her that you don't just "love" her and "care" about her, but that you WANT her.
Assuming you actually do.
TL;DR: everyone wants to feel WANTED. New guy gave her that; you didn't.
NOW is your chance: shit now, or get off the pot.
edit: re age difference: be sure to point out that when she's 80, you'll still be a spring chicken at 76, and she can brag to her nursing-home friends about her young buck
