Ive hung out with this girl from my class probably like 4 or 5 times and she wants to keep hanging out but i do not want to get in the friend zone. how can i avoid the friend zone?? for some reason i end up in the friendzone ALOT

What do you guys do when you hang out?

we grab some drinks at bars and stuff... this past weekend i bought us tickets to a concert. shes in one of my classes also. i feel like its tough to stay out of the friends zone when shes in my class.

With the limited info you've provided, it seems like you are getting in your own way. This girl seems interested enough to hang out with you 1 on 1 but you probably haven't escalated at all. Have you tried? Has there been any sort of hugging/touching etc? If you don't convey what you feel at some level she's just going to treat you like a gay friend.

One thing you can do is to not hang out with her for a while and see how she responds. If shes asking whats up or seems disappointed then you may have an opening. If you don't escalate, there will be no progress. Apply some kino and see how she responds. Does she give you any IOIs during your dates?
