Have you ever told a girl that you would rather have her as a friend in the hopes of getting close to her like that before trying to seduce? I'm having trouble with girl. I keep getting her to respond to texts, but she's distant and there's no real questions on her end that indicate interest. I'm thinking of just telling her that I met someone and I'm really just a one-woman guy, but I think she's really cool and that I would still like to get to know her better as friend.

I can't really think of any other solution. I consider my work on her to be a fun puzzle to solve.

Anyone ever tried something like that?
