Thanks for reading guys, I'd like to share a quick background to help you better understand(and I'll keep it as brief as possible)
So basically, I'm a freshman in college in my second semester. I'm very busy at this point, and I don't really have time to socialize and meet people.
So last semester, I met this girl that I really liked, and I've read quite a bit about game, so I tried to use it on her early on. She was in a relationship though, and she sort of friendzoned me early on.
Anyway, over time I got more attached, and ended up displaying some Extremely afc behavior. I was extremely deep in the friendzone, until one of my buddies talked some sense into me over the break.
I started using game with her over SPAM and texting, and I really sensed that she might have warmed up to me. Anyway, after getting back, for some complicated and stupid reason, i decided to tell her how i felt. She basically said some crap, and it was obvious she felt sorry for me.
Anyway, on the advice of my friend, i decided to cut her off. i didn't talk to her for 3 months straight(she tried to contact me a few times, but i didn't reply to her or her friends), until last week i ran into her and talked for a bit. I didn't really completely get over her, most likely because i don't really have the time necessary to go out and meet new people. so we texted a bit back and forth, and last night she asked me if we could hang out, so we went for dinner and a movie.
Today we were texting, and at some point i was teasing her and told her to buy me dinner. She agreed, but then went on to say that she didn't want to lead me on blah blah and just wants to be friends.
It was my stupidity that got me into this situation in the first place, but anyway i replied saying that I'm not sure whether I even like her anymore (even though in reality I still have pretty strong feelings). I didn't want to give away the power completely and appear helpless.
I really don't want to end up hurting myself badly, but I don't think cutting her off is the answer since it didn't work the first time, especially given my limited social contact. Socializing isn't an easy solution as I don't have time, and I am only attracted to conservative girls, of which there are very very few at my college.
Would it be best to cut off contact, continue being friends with zero expectations, or just continue being friends and try my luck in the future. or something else?
I'm putting up a poll, but I would greatly appreciate any responses and feedback
