She keeps giving me IOI's ... but then every once in a while busts out with "We're friends right?"

I'll say some random shit like "You're losing points" or something like that and she'll say "Friends don't keep points like that"

So . . . move on or keep going - she keeps trying to make other dates and wants to hang, I don't pay for the dates, we pretty much split everything, she'll pay, I'll pay etc.

Again she'll give IOI's - compliment me on being smart funny good looking etc, try to validate herself to me, but then every once in a while hit me with the fucking friends shit... shit test or is this one trying to tell my ass I'm in the friend zone for sure . . .

Move on, she's obviously taking great care to assert that she isn't interested.

So no salvaging this one huh. . .

Tell her your not interested in being her friend and if she changes her mind to give you a call. Walk away man, and let her chase you.

Not Every girl is going to be instantly attracted to you it is what you do that makes them attracted to you.

Ok going to do that... but should I just tell her next time we talk on the phone or when we go out next week?

ANything specific I should say or avoid saying?

Guys, come on. WTF?

Is it only me? She is TESTING him. She is trying to ruin his game. She is expecting him, to give her compliments. What she actually is saying is "I want to be more than friends. Approve it."

Do not give up with your frame. Built more attraction(ignore you feelings, prove that you got friends and girls, built up sexual tension)and she will be yours in no time.

Again, do this, if it makes sense else you will ruin it.

Good luck.

So do not be direct with her and tell her I see us as more than friends? Continue on?

Like I said she is always trying to validate herself, like I will say something about how I was out and my friends and xyz girls would be hitting on me etc, she will immediately say something like "Oh you won't believe how many guys THROW themselves at me but I just turn them all down..." And I will say something like "You're adorable and all for a midget but come on, you really expect me to believe that? Midget please!"

Not sure if I am coming on too strong with the push/negs whatever you want to call them - or just fuck it be direct.

Mate, come on. Can't you see it? I do not know, but thats what i believe.

I don't know what you mean by continue on. If it involves escalating, sexual triggers, then yes. You need her to get interessted sexually(your value seems to be high enough, as she is trying to match it). And no, ignore that deep stuff with friends and serious relationships. Your goal is sex, remember? Everything comes after.

But i also believe, if you keep on doing your neg/push-pull stuff, your relation to her, will be unhealthy and dumb. I will just be like 2 kids, trying to prove whos the best.

Go on with the dirty play, when you see her. Shouldnt be trouble. No question, no answers, just lead.

Good luck.

I've been in a similar situation where a girl was giving me clear signs of interest but would then hit me with the friends shit. My advice is move on as quickly as possible. I wasted so much time with this girl. My experience is once your in the friends zone it's extremely difficult to get out of that. There's plenty more fish in the sea.
