You’re in the friend zone, and it’s not a comfortable place to be! My advice is to get out by stopping your contact with her. Ironically, when you do do this, you’re showing strength, and if you still want to date her, ask her again in a few months after the absence of contact. Women are attracted to men who are confident and have their own lives and successes. By showing her that you care too much about her to be her friend, and only want her if she’s willing to date you, you’re making yourself more attractive. Obviously, the risk is a loss of contact, but the contact you’ve been having isn’t helping you — it’s hurting you. Please stay in the friend zone because they fear loss of contact and moving on forever, but unless you’re willing to take that risk, you’ll just have more of the same discomfort you have now.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
