Ouch man, what are you thinking, buying her gifts will get her into her pants? You spent too much time together without making a move. Don't ever be that person unless you just want to be friends.

Its not like you ruined any chances, but most likely she has a guy she is seeing or something now so it might take some time to get out of the friend zone. Anyways, you could always agree with just be friends get her out again and start making moves and escalate., maybe start hitting on girls while you are out with her, maybe that will help to.

But ya, not much else to do, you can invite her out for some drinks and see where that goes. Or drop all contact for awhile and start again fresh after reading some books.

So I met this girl through a group a friends, she keeps to herself a lot and doesn't really have many friends at all and is proud to admit that. In about a month or so of seeing her through the group I ended up getting her phone number under the pretenses of seeing Kobe Bryant play a bit later in the year. It's January when these plans are made. The game isn't until April, so between that time I would hit her up once a week and even got her something for Valentines day. I picked her up from her house and said "HAPPY VALENTINES DAY" and gave her a pink camo shirt. Didn't get FriendZoned, so I'm thinking okay I'm on the right track. I even found out that she doesn't rock with pink like that so I turned around and got her a lil soccer jersey of her nationality, and when she got it she was noticeably surprised. She said "How did you know where I'm from?". She forgot that she told me a while before that, but the jersey ended up being to big, go figure....

So for months after that I would only hang with her around the group aside from the rare meet up at school or the one time she went to the mall with me. At this point I would pick her up from her house to drop her off to hang with he group, and it got to the point where all the guys in the group would say she's my GF right in front of her. The comments always were ignored by me and her every time though, so up until late May early June she had hit me up one day asking me to pick her up from work. Mind you I live less than a mile from where she works, and less than 4 miles from where she lives. So I GLADLY took the the responsibility of picking her up from work for like 89% of the summer. Each time I had her I would smoke with her to hang with a her bit longer. Sometimes I would even pay for her food at times, so I prolly got about 45mins-1.30hrs extra after work just to pick her brain, and she REALLLY opened up to me in time sharing intimate details about her family and work and anything remedial.
So the summer goes by we seem to be getting closer and closer, like she would offer to buy my food n shit like that. The spending on each other never went past like food or simple gifts for birthdays (hers). I gave a iron pressed beaded logo of her city, to which she snapchatted me "thanks" with it in the picture. She even wore it ONCE. Never saw it again tho. I also have given jogger pants I bought online that were to small for me (years old clothes I never wore), and she wears em all the time. Even teased me bout how they fit her and I'm a man and blah blah you know.

So everything going smooth, she's hitting me up to hang out for lunch, when the house is empty for anything really, but I never made an overt move on her like that for her to just turn me down, but I have thrown lil jabs out to see and I was not turned down. I have even witnessed her turn guys down, I have heard stories on how she turned guys down that were using the same things I was doing to get her attention through texts. She even said she can tell when a guy likes her, so you know WOMEN are covert with their advances so I took that as a good sign to stick around. Recently she got a car to go to work she's young 20 yrs old from her mom and didn't need me for rides no more, but we would still hang out after she got off work like it was part of our schedule. Till out of the WHOLE COLOR OF BLUE she sends me a text EARLY in the morning. "Hey you do know we won't ever be anything other than just friends.. I just wanted to make sure you know bc I don't want you thinking I'm leading you on in any other way." I didn't make a big deal out of it. I just asked her where is this coming from? What did I do? She said she has lost friends in the past cuz of it and wanted to be clear, and that I didn't do anything. She even agreed to tell me the same thing in person, only thing is she coudn't/didn't want to answer the question I had. "Why didn't you tell me a long time ago?" cause it's almost been a year, and she is KNOWN for friendzoning ppl fast. She just shrugged and didn't answer and said there's nothing to talk about and that she was clear in what she said......I just feel like she could have told me a long time ago, or gave me a signal to make a move, because I promise I was waiting on one, but I swear she never gave me a chance. So maybe it was it exactly what it was. Just a friend....

So I met this girl through a group a friends, first time I seen her I paid her no mind (because I assumed she was somoneone GF) but some hours went by and I figured out she was single. So I got her ask her name n age and her instagram. Might have been that day or the next I ended up liking about 5 of her pics on instagram.

Don't take the honest feedback as you needing "major improvement" all around. My comments only apply to this very specific situation you posted about.

You could/might have tremendous qualities, but still suck with women. A lot of men are like that.

I don't suck with women. I have had slow cookers like this before that just took a long time for a move to be made, but I did make covert moves that she noticed. I never like asked her to suck my dick or went for cheap ass/boob grabs, but she knew what was up, there was no hiding it. So she had to have just been using me and started to feel bad about it.

I think you may be in denial. Slow cookers, covert moves, and blaming her for using you are all excuses for your inability to make the necessary effort for seduction. You can't expect positive results if you're waiting for her to say it's okay for you to pursue something more than friendship.
