I guess this is supposed to be a joke but I wonder if I wasn't stringing her along by being perhaps too friendly. I know she's probably gone through hell while playing the dating game so I figured I would talk to her like a human being and treat her respectfully. Hopefully that isn't considered stringing her along.

Are you joking? What do you normally do after first dates when theres no interest?

It doesn't matter what I normally do. I'm asking the best way to handle THIS situation. If there's no connection, there's usually no connection at all (physical or otherwise). This situation was different. We clicked but there was no romantic spark...you don't know anyone that you enjoy talking to but you don't exactly see them in a romantic light?

This is it, your best answer, so far...

Psst: Better to tell her now that you see her more as a friend, and not romantically, rather than later... Later would probably be too late to be friends...

lols...no. I'm being honest. Seems as though you've already determined where its headed. I don't believe in leading anyone on; is there a possibility sparks could happen after you've spent more time together, or are you going by visuals alone? I've always had men friends I hung out with; I didn't meet them on dating sites. Kind of reminds me of the shallow Hal movie.

If you wanna stay just friends with this girl , do not encourage her moves. For instance,When you're hanging out with her Start talking to all your friends and not just her.Never flirt with her and show any kind of interest ,

If she ever asks you to be her boyfriend, appear serious. You can always say," I'm sorry but I like you as a friend and nothing more.I hope you understand"

It's like giving a starving person a plain hotdog when they ordered a pizza with the works

...it can work, but they sure as hell won't be fully satisfied with it

Considering that you two met for the sole purpose of seeing if you might click, I say no. She never wanted you as just a friend.

If you had a foundation of friendship prior to romantic interest, I would say ok.

No, no joke. I'm fat and some fat men are nice.And it is considered stringing her along if she was hoping to have a relationship with you.Think about it, do want the chick you want to just pet your head and say, oh he's a nice boy.

Ok well I haven't heard from her since. So maybe she decided that I wasn't for her.
