My trouble is that she keeps on explaining that I'm in her friendzone and that she doesn't want to lose what we have. BUT, I have not been a nice guy to her as I have offered to pleasure her/peeked on her in the bathroom/been really sexual with her so at least I know I've planted that thought in her head. What's weird is that even though I tried all those things with her and got shot down, she still agreed to me asking her out on a date and even dropped confusing hints like letting me hold her hand, spooning her, etc etc while saying "I don't feel the same way" and "Don't get your hopes up".
Before you get confused with the other poster's observation, one PUA community wisdom that has proven true time and time again is to always gauge a woman's interest by what she does and not what she says.
A woman's nonverbal communication (what she does) will usually reveal her primal instinct which has been micro-coded by nature into human genes. On the other hand, a woman's verbal communication (what she says) will usually reveal what society has conditioned her to say to fit in the standards that society enforces on her. This social conditioning is part of what Dawkins call memes. Memes separate human societies from the more primitive primate societies of gorillas, baboons, or chimpanzees.
If she caught you looking at her naked in the bathroom and is fine with it, then that's her primal instinct kicking in. If she lets you hold her hand, then she's giving you the instinctive cue to sexually escalate.
However, spooning her is a female gender role. Women have nurturing instincts which they display with actions such as spooning, cuddling and caring for you like a baby. Spooning her kills your sexual attractiveness as a masculine male. The masculine gender role is to provide and protect. Protective gestures include clawing your arms around her shoulder, positioning yourself at the dangerous side of the street when you're walking together and so on.
Stay away from feminine behavior and focus on masculine behavior as you escalate. Escalate properly and you'll nail her. Escalate crudely like you have no clue on the interplay of women's sexuality and the social pressures on her not to act like a slut and you'll probably go to jail.
Again, learn how to escalate properly.
