Holy bad advice SPAM!

It is a good sign. It means that she misses you.
You are doing the right thing building up an attractive lifestyle. It will make you look less in needy and more interesting.
I am not sure about the social media tactic. Facebook can be a good way to project that you are a social person if used correctly. I for example use facebook to arrange going out with my friends. It is easier putting everyone on a single chat window. I also never forget to post photos of me going out clubbing or weekends abroad sightseeing. Nothing bad with social media if used in the right way and don't take over your life.
While you are away doing your thing, it is a good thing that there is something online so this girl can look up and create in her mind the image that you want.
Scarce is good but you need to leave a reminder of you behind you. Facebook is good for that. She will browse your photos and your statuses.
Also when you don't want to answer if you were somewhere you can post your photos on facebook and when she is wondering she will go and see that you were out having fun.
There used to be out some good PUA material on how to project your sexuality in a more natural way. I don't know if there is more improved material. I think the guys here and point you into the right direction.

Oh! and something else... don't focus on this girl that has friendzoned you. Flirt, talk to people around you.

You cannot say yet. She might have started getting more interested but she also might have considered you as a non threatening man and she wants to come over and spend some time with her friend.
It will be as you'll make it to be. You might be able to kino escalate it and kiss her or you might end up with a big disappointment.
We don't know much about what is going on. That move doesn't say much.

Only if you Amp up the sexual tension, and fuck her.

Good sign. She is investing. Let her cook, and while she does, touch her, tell her that shit smells good. Let her know you want her for dessert.

One thing I've learned about the friend zone, women often are resistant to change. Once they have determined your role, they resist you changing that role, be it to fuck material, or losing you completely. That means once you are a friend, when you make your move to get out of it, they don't like it right away. Often they will reject right off the bat. Then a few weeks later when they come around. Just keep doing as you are doing.

I think you are missing the point of pua. Unless you are in some transitional, self-discovery stage, you should be out.

You mean out dating? Or leaving this one alone? I'm definitely dating.

It's a good sign. It means she is chasing you and seeking validation.

But I would use that as a segue way to DHV yourself and make her chase you more. I'd tell her "Yea, sorry, just been busy with this new work/school project..." Or tell her that you have been busy, going out a lot with your friends. That'll make you seem social proof and at the same time it excludes her from the party making her feel left out. Tell her you are busy getting ready for a big weekend trip in Vegas. Then go radio silent until she contacts you again and asks how Vegas was.

After hearing you talk about all this awesome shit and leaving her out, I'd think she'd jump at a chance to go out with you once you ask her. If not, then she was probably just playing some BS head game with you and isn't actually DTF. Then you move on.

You did everything right, thats your reward. Dont fall for that too easily, but yes accept the dinner offer, watch your body language, dont lean in, but out. Keep watching the time, act a bit cocky, do things that will make her think that you have other girls and shes just one of them.

Dude you acted weak, and put yourself in the friendzone women don't friendzone guys, guys friend zone themselves. However getting out of the friendzone is easy as pie just not many ppl have the balls to use this method. She's gotten in touch with you so she's obviously thinking of you now when she comes over all you have to do is create a fun filled romantic opportunity for sex to happen~ Corey Wayne. However if she says she just wants to be friends or anything like that you say you think she's a really great girl you like her, but you're only interested in her romantically, but if if she changes her mind to give you a call. Then you walk away and wait for her to contact you almost always after demonstarating alpha traits of not settling for less than you want the girl will come back. This is the most effective method to get out of the friend zone there's no games behind it just most guys don't have the balls to do it. She seems to have interest in you so play your cards right, and you've got this one.

Im new to being a PUA so please forgive me. What exactly should we do to get out of the friendzone? Kino? Freeze outs?

In retrospect, I couldn't agree with you more. I ended up seeing someone else for awhile and basically did what you outlined above.
