Greetings fellow PUA's, recently got myself into a bit of a conundrum with a girl I started talking to 2 weeks ago. I'm 17 btw.

Alright so I met her through my social circle on the weekend, Hot blonde 8.5, got interested so I started talking to her. Been learning about pick up for about 5 months now so I applied everything I knew and it went extremely fucking smooth. She was ridiculously receptive to everything I was doing. Started slow, and kino escalated pretty damn quick, we spent most of the night dancing, push pulling and all that good stuff. At this point I was really trying to build attraction with this chick, talking with her, finding commonalities. I could tell she was into me at this point because she kept coming back for more when I pulled back so I rolled with it.

When school started again, I knew I was in because she was completely ignoring me at first, but that quickly changed. Throughout the week I've been flirting, playing all my cards right and her friends say she won't stop talking to them about me. Halfway through the week, I didn't have to do anything because she essentially started gaming me. She would put her legs in my lap, head on my shoulders, keep me up at night texting, and linger for hugs.

What fucking baffles me completely is that I was supposed to go to another hangout last Thursday, but I couldn't because I was grounded since I care more about girls than school...(fuck yea worth it) I delivered the news and she was practically begging me to come through texts.

So I got some friends to do some recon for me that I can trust to see how she was acting. Turns out they got into a conversation about me, that I like her and all that jazz. My friend now tells me that she said she only sees us as friends and that she hinted towards liking another guy (Never see her with any other guys... she's in my social circle too).

I mean....what? I've hardly set myself up to get friendzoned and I'm not sure how to proceed or what this means. Not really sure how she can see me as just a friend based off of all the signals she has been reciprocating.

Any thoughts on how to proceed would be appreciated

Act like you never heard that keep doing what you're doing escalate a little more then ask her out for example say how about you and I grab a drink say this friday 8:30-9 at whatever place?
I know you're too young to drink so you'll have to come up with something different I was just giving you an example, but aside from that just act like you didn't hear that from your friends.
Good luck!
