hey guys, i recently stumbled upon this site and this is my first post. hopefully you can be helpful and hopefully mt post isnt too long...

i met some girl online about a year ago, and we talked once in a while and it was usually flirty since we both found each other attractive. a few months later she had a bf and we didnt talk as much, and if we did it was just chit chat. nothing flirty. and when they broke up a month ago it was like when we first started talking.

so we met up last 3 weeks ago. she lives 1h away from me and i drove to her house (fyi, she lives with her family) and we hung out for a bit and then went to dinner and then saw a movie. the whole night went went really well, but there was nothing physical until we said our goodbyes. i dropped her off at home and her family was asleep. she asked for a hug and as we were pulling away we started to kiss

i drove home thinking everything went really really well and figured something might come of this.
the next day we talked and she basically said shes not ready for a realtionship right now so we can just be friends cause she wants to focus on school and her relationship with God (fyi, shes very religious..and i am not). i was a bit upset considering she always led me on by saying flirty things since the first time we met. she said, shes like that with all her guy friends. she also said i was a good kisser and couldnt stop thinking of that kiss we had the first time we met. and if it means anything, i said the same in return.

so last week we decided to hang out again anyway, and we ate, minigolfed and then saw a movie. the whole time we were out that look on her face suggested that she wanted to kiss (as did i), but i wasnt exactly going to do that at a mini put place in front of 12 year olds. and plus she discussed how she wanted to just be friends (at least for now).

than we went to see a movie (oddly enough we saw "Just Friends"). we were early so we sat in the back of the theatre. and through our conversation we go to talk about tickeling and how you cant tickle yourself. so i tried to tickel her arm pit and she squirmed and grabbed my hand and held it...which i found odd considering SHE wanted to just be friends. so i played along, and we helf hand for the entire movie and i had my arm around her as well.

so afterwards i dropped her off at home and before she went in she wanted to discuss what happened. she said i thought we were going to be friends but we totally went back on what we had discussed. i said everything that happened that night seemed very mutual.

the whole time im trying to read her, cause she says lets just be friends and has a great time hanging with me, and shes really attracted to me but has a hard time resisting trying to kiss. she wants to date me but she also doesnt, and i could tell it was tearing her up trying to figure out what she wants. we couldnt talk for too long since she was expected home at a certain time so i offered to just walk her to her door and i would (jokingly said) only HUG her and no more and we did.

thats how that night ended. and at this point im not really sure what she really wants. i do really like her and im not really interested in being "just friends" so i dont konw what to really do at this point. our situation is that we both want to date but something inside of her is saying no, which it seems like its the thing whole religious thing.

a few days later we talked on the phone and i said if we're going to be just friends i wouldnt really want to hang out in person anymore since the temptation to be physical might iritate me and it would be hard to be "just friends". the next day she came online and she was pissed with one word answers and such. so i offered to call her and she told me how it was a mistake to meet cause now our relationship is messed and she doesnt come online often and we probably wont talk as much anymore. so i caved and said "fine lets get together sometime", and we're supposed to be meeting up next weekend.

its been killing me for a week to figure out whats going to happen. i dont want to be just friends!

(sorry for the LONG post!)

If she's attracted enough to anyone, she'll want to be more than friends. End of story.

I think you are on the right path by telling her you don't want to be her friend. What you can do is explain to her that anything that you develop with her won't be a real friendship since you want more. You might try even giving her some time to think about it. In my situation(see below) I told her she can have some time to decide but that an honest friendship between us COULD not happen as long as I wanted it to be more.

I told a girl that once when she tried ljbf and a week later we were at it and I never heard that friends crap from her again.

thats probably the best advice ive heard yet...

but how would you go about telling her that? im supposed to hang out with her next weekend. do i just slip it in at the end of the night? and after i say that, do i continue to hang with her beyond that day or just kind of give her space and not really try to talk to her or get together

one more thing i was considering was telling her that since shes not sure about getting involved, than maybe we can just give it a shot and see how it goes. like a trial run and if it doesnt work out than we'll be friends cause at least we tried. im just trying to play off the concept of "its better to regret something you did then something you didnt do"

and just to add..shes also interested (and i know she is) but is turning the chance down. so i dont know how well this idea would work now

Go out with her this weekend, do your thing as if you are already dating her, at the end of the night make your move. Either she accepts it or turns it down, if she turns it down with the friends line again tell her you can;t be friends with her in that way. It's not the smoothest considering she already pulled ljbf, but it will do.

If she accepts the intimacy then just wait until the next time she pulls the ljbf on you.

btw, all advice should be taken with the mindset that you are willing to walk away if she is really not interested. and no contact with her until you see her(unless she initiates it)

If she is truly interested then she will respect your viewpoint and will be scared that you will get away from her. Her thinking is that she wants you, just not right now, well she needs to realize that it's now or never, you got other girls lined up if this doesn't work.

Or, if you want to drag this thing on (while you're working on other girls) don't be flirty at all with her, treat her like she's your sister and if she's at all interested in you she'll be ready to jump you sooner than later. She wants you to want her, and if you don't give that to her, it will drive her crazy. Play it out all the way, if she's into you, this will definitely bring it to the surface.
