This was back before I got into this stuff seriously; however, I've been thinking about it lately.
There was a girl I hung out with twice (she had a bf), very hot, very compatible with me. Same interests, etc. The activities we did were what people who date do. However, at the end of the second hangout, for whatever reason, I felt like she saw me as a guy without a penis.
So in the beginning of our third hangout I said casually, "these are the types of things I do with women I'm dating.". She says, "I didn't mean to lead you on. I do this with guy friends all the time and there never a problem. I just assumed we were friends." I took that as being friendzoned and dropped her, all contact after that.
I'm sure everyone has a story like this, where they lost an amazing girl that spurred them to join this community. However, looking back, I wonder if I should have ignored what she said and escalate anyway. Then again, I was deep into oneitis for her and maybe I accomplished the task of not feeling neutered if I kept hanging out with her and ruined my manhood even though she may have been potentially bangable.
