First i'd like to introduce myself a bit im a relatively advanced PUA running several MLTRs and going after 9-10 HBs only (went hardcore for a while to get here haha)

Right now im a first year student (in my country were all 23-25 as first year undergrads) I built an awesome social circle with the top babes and dudes by mid-semester (which is now) were all a pretty tight group with the 2 top HBs of the class. (HB-in-question included)

The top HB of the class and I went out the 3rd week of the semester and got real close after 3 dates I had her in my bed fooled around but we didn't have sex as she was still trying to figure out how to deal with dating a "player" and I foolishly didnt press on with LMR tactics because I thought I had it sealed seeing as we were so advanced into comfort. Im looking to finally settle down for a while with just one girl and this is the first one in almost a year that actually met the standards (yes. this screams oneitis. i know).

ANYWAYS - two days later in the middle of some conversation she says she thought about it a lot and that we got to the point where there are only 2 options (shes been through a lot of stuff so she cant get physical unless its a relationship so no FB or casual option here) - we either call it a relationship or we cut it but she doesn't want to stop seeing me (I did a bunch of high-quality frame-control but this aint some dumb HB its an intelligent alpha female she didnt bite or budge).

Bottom line she said shes recently single (confirmed. 6-8 weeks single) and she just got to the university and started to enjoy her new single life in a new city even tho she doesn't get physical, she called it the "single state of mind". This is the type that goes all out in relationships so she said its not good for her to be like that right now but we should still hangout 1 on 1 w/e and she definitely doesn't want to stop talking.

I roughly said sry babe, you want to be in my friendzone i gotta treat you like everyone else meaning special SPAM is gone i aint got time for 1 on 1 with just another friend (did it with more tact obviously).

Question is - now what? is it clear game error that led to this or just bad luck / timing whatever? any ideas can help please

*reminder - were in the same social circle I see her every few days and she wont date anyone for a while for sure.*

Thanks ahead

Just bad timing dude...

This is the what i would do. Treat her as a friend dont not talk to her dont freeze her out be 'friend zoned' This means you will always be there when the time comes around she wants a man but heres the part flirt with everything and anything be a 'player' show her you dont give a fuck if she doesnt want the LTR now shes running out of time with you because someones going to snap you up. Plenty of HB's out there

Shes in the same circle and it will make it awkward and push you away from her if you make her out to be a bitch etc. Just be cool and casual like yeah cool stuff.

good luck bro
