Hope everyone is well here boys and girls. Trying to keep this one short but need to add a bit of background.
Alright so couple of months ago I met some chick. Because there is a slight age difference between the two of us ~5 years …early 20s on my side, I wasn’t really interested in anything as I was also involved with a girl at that time…whos out of the picture now.
Anyways we kept bumping into each other and eventually became friends…went out a few times, I know she was looking for a pull but turned her down…don’t judge. So few months down the line, we pretty much are close friends now. We talk about everything there is to talk about on a daily basis, and I’m starting to regret putting her in the friendzone (big surprise) or whatever you want to call it, since we get along very well. It actually has come to the point where I can’t stand to hear it when she tells me that she pulled some dude etc. so clearly the entire thing is getting a bit unhealthy and I’m getting sick of it.

I haven’t told her how I feel about her by now (guess that could be a starting point) but I don’t want to risk losing that friendship or her, as we get along so well and I could imagine this going further… which doesn’t happen too often to me, since I usually don’t let girls get that close to me. Again don’t judge.
So how does one go to recover from that? Just get slushed and hook her, or any other ideas?

Turned out to be a bit longer then expected.
But if anyone actually made it this far, shot for the read, and hoping for some advice here.

Shot.

does she sees you as a man or merely a friend?

I dont know to be honest. We didnt hang out much lately, since I was on holidays, and so was she, so mostly just texting which can sometimes make it a bit difficult to judge.
But since I noticed that I do in fact want more, I also started to sexualize our conversations a bit more etc. and she definitely picked up on it. However the fact that she told me that while drunk she made out with some dude, makes me think that she does after all only see us as friends now.

Stop.
Wanting to bang a friend = fine. Liking a friend as more than a friend = fine. Feeling some kind of way when a chick who is not with you bangs some dude = crazy, and needy. It's not the situation...its YOU. You're needy already and possessive over a chick thats not yours to even be possessive of. You can make a move and get her. Or you can stop hanging out with her or whatever. But you'll still be needy and you'll still have a tendency to get way too serious way too early. Maybe you can get her, but whats next? If when she hasnt even fucked you you're feeling jealousy, what happens when she's your gf and she doesnt text back for a couple hrs or goes out with friends. Kill the neediness first.

Typical AFC trying to escalate behind text as opposed to making the move in person where you can actually take advantage of it.

Lesson learnt? Chase more women and really get involved with pick up. Stop dabbling and earn your reps.

And no, she didnt throw me that curve ball to keep me in the friendzone. Like I said, I put her there

When a man friend zone's a girl, it completely fucks her mentally, because it almost never happens to attractive women (8,9,10's). This causes women to chase or be very receptive to physicality.

It is quite possible she's just waiting for you to man-up and make a move. At least this way u'll find out.
