Hey,

We talked. I came out and plainly said I would like to take her on a date. She said she isn't dating right now. I said ok, but let's hang out anyway. She said yes. Numbers exchanged. Plans made. Now gonna hang out Saturday evening...what is this? Should one expect to never get past friendship from this situation? I like to take things slow anyway, but I do wish to date/ date her...

She told you she isn't interested in dating you. Listen to her.

And if you want to date her and don't want to be platonic friends and be ok with being platonic friends, don't be hanging out with her either.

I thought maybe she meant she isn't dating anyone in general at the moment for whatever reason, but perhaps later down the line. Because she didn't say, NO, I don't want to date you. She just said I'm not really into dating right now, but let's hang out (one on one...) instead...

I don't mind being platonic friend's with her because she's cool. I like cool women. It's just in her case I would have preferred to date her because she is so cute and cool.

Don't take it that way. That just will get you hurt. When someone tells you they aren't dating right now, don't be holding out hope. Don't friendzone yourself.

This is women-speak for I don't have attraction towards you, but I will hang out as long as nothing romantic happens and I have nothing better to do.

That being said, if you have the right approach and she doesn't already know you very well, she could change her mind.

Yes, she doesn't want to date you. So you dating her ("hanging out," OY!) will be futile.

What she really meant was that she doesn't want to date YOU.


So, either be platonic friends or FWB. But don't get yourself hurt

She might not want to date at all, too. But in the end, it doesn't matter. It's still a no and its time to move on.
