Dude, you answered your own question, this is not rocket science.
Friend to friend = regular chat. No intent. No flirting. Whatever.
Man to woman = flirt, compliment, intent, escalate, lead and close
Failure to do any of the above = friend.
The diffrence in frames is that as a man to woman you are facing rejection, which is good, she has to either reject your moves or accept them. Thats what you want. Not everygirl is gona like you, but alot will be okay, thats what you want.
As a friend to friend interaction you are not putting yourself out there so you will waste alot of time bullshiting around.
Which frame will you choose?
