Hi

I'm 16 years old and living with my family in a neighborhood. One of our neighbors is a family of 5, which we know really well. One of the members is a 17 year old girl who I've known for 10 years or so. However, I don't have a clue how to become real friends with her. And I'd love to have a female best friend living nearby. She's pretty, but I'm not into her. She's just not girlfriend/fuck material.

We often speak over the internet, and we meet approx. once a month, excluding the times we accidentally bump into each other.

To give you an idea of what is wrong:

On Monday, after being at a music arrangement, we took the bus home together. At the bus stop, I sat at on a bench, but she stood 5 meters away from me.
It's always that coldness.

I've never driven any kino on her, could this be the reason?
What do I talk to her about? I just wanna be her friend, but I wanna be that sexy friend, not her slave.

She's got a really fun social circle with lots of beautiful women, so I really wanna do this!

Any hints/tips would be welcumed

No KINO!

Ok, talk to her, listen to her. Be interesting. Be funny. But do not pull the trigger. It is as easy as that! She will not take the first step!

The way to put her in the LJBF zone is to build comfort.

Have you thought about just telling her the truth...that you want to be friends?

Treat it like a normal set, but skip A3 and go straight to comfort.

What you're doing is well, making her like you, but then you're skipping A3 and not showing any sexual interest. And never kino more than an innocent friend hug.
A big sign of being in the friends zone is, her trying to hook you up with her other friends(which is what you want anyways), and her talking about her problems (especially guy problems)and treating you like you're her therapist.

Same way you make friends with a guy. Comfort and trust

Just treat her like any other friend. Hang out like you would with any other friend.

Just tell her you want to be friends.
