Quote:
She's "friend-zoned" you rationally, but not emotionally.
She feels attraction for you, thats for sure. Touching her, holding her and kissing her on her cheek. That sure isn't a normal friendship. But, if you use that attraction, at some point bypass her "rational" side and become romantic, she will rationalise later and will probably either not see you again, or warn you sternly.
If you really like her, you need to do what every guy has to do if he wants to start something longer-term. That is, you have to maintain that attraction she has for you, but you also have to bond. You have to connect with her.
The confusing part, is that you are already friends, so you have probably already connected. That is why these situations are always a bit more complicated.
What you're going to have to do, is to re-connect, under a different frame. You have to connect and bond with her, but in a romantic way. That means, you're going to have to ask her deep questions, let her be vulnerable, and you have to do the same.
What I would not advise you to do, is to continue down the same path you have been taking. If its not working, you need to stop.
2 Important Points that are Key
1) You need to lay off hitting on her, because otherwise it becomes this annoying game that she will get sick of playing. Humans tend to continue down the same path that they are already on, its like human behavioural inertia. Stop hitting on her. Start afresh.
2) The story always matters]. It especially matters, in the long-run. And this is one of those long-run situations. Unless your goal is to get with her once and never see her again, you need to take particular note on this point.
Make sure you lay off hitting on her, keep being attractive, and let her attraction for you build up. But this time, instead of letting her know you like her like is the usual route to take, you need to go straight into building a bond.
Forget about mutual attraction. If she knows you like her, her brain will stop anything from escalating. You need to tell a different story this time. You only clue her in to the fact that you like her, after you have bonded. She was attracted to you, you connected and bonded, and then you fell for her. That is the only story that will make this work.
And I suggest you let the relationship go somewhere. If you just want to get her in bed and go back to being friends after, you can forget it. Its not happening except on the rare occasion. So I suggest you think through it carefully. Do you want a good friend, a one night-stand, or a proper relationship (at least for a while).
Good-luck,

Really appreciate your straight direct answer! You already gave me an idea in the proper long term strategy.
When you are saying me to lay off finger on her, but instead of going directly showing that I am interested, it means I am trying to create a bond with her in a deeper emotional connection right? When you are talking about her being vurnerable, do you have any example in what and how scenario vurnerable means? My strategy so far has been breaking rapport, and yes it has worked in a degree, but like you said. She "zoned" me through rationally, but not emotionally, and that makes me know that I still have chance to fix this.
When you are taking about going straight into building bond. Do you have any specific example what you mean by that? I have already "bonded" her with many histories we have known together, but the impression I get what you mean is to turn the table around and bond in a different way which I have no idea what you mean.
"She was attracted to you, you connected and bonded, and then you fell for her. That is the only story that will make this work" I don't really understand this statement. This statements does contradict in my situation, so how will this story of she was attracted to me, I connected and bonded?
I honestly just want to have sex with her, and she is not into open relationship. I could fake that I want a real solid relationship which is obvisouly not true. It's not my game to lie to ladies for my selfish beneficial. I want and try at least somehow restructure her head and imagine that open relationship could go for both of us. I heard NLP, or Speed Seduction technique or something could go. What do you think?
EDIT: I am used to call her for sweetie, love, baby, you know such cliche nickname I tagged on her. Since you suggest me to rewind the bond and stories between us, how should I put her in our stand position now?
