So much for the "She's my true friend, we talk about everything, it isn't must that I'm trying to get with her" stuff.

I mean I figures this, bit the totally user way you put it is actually a shock. Talk about a 180.

I'm sure she felt this all along.

That's a sign that you were getting too feely or hint-y at that moment so she was subtly pushing you off.

You were NEVER her friend.

Maybe part of your problem with women is that you don't seem to think of women as actual people. You pretend to care about them overall but really you're just saying "whatever" to keep them around long enough to finally make your move.

You need to do more than her dating advice. You need to learn to treat people as people. Not prizes to be won or lost. This mindset makes you unattractive because while you're trying to "win" you are just slavering after the person like a hopeful child. So it's not helping you either. This larger issue is no good for your 'targets' and it's no good for you.

Yep, and she knew you knew this by the way you were tiptoeing around the subject so as not to rock the boat, and it made you even less attractive to her.

She couldn't resist the pull of being made to feel like a goddess but she knew she wasn't into you and she put off telling you. She must have known it was wrong but weirdly, people who use other people tend to lose respect for those they use. It's just like the guys here who say they try like hell to have sex immediately with a woman, but then lose respect for the woman because she obviously puts out early. Same thing.

After 500 years of saying you didn't want to declare yourself to her because, if turned down, you'd also lose her friendship.......all of a sudden she's worth nothing to you?
Cute, real cute.

I really really wanted it to work, but I could not get past his weak, easily dominated personality. He'd had terrible relationships where awful women had taken advantage of him, and he would just take it. He would have let me do the same, and I couldn't respect him.

Are you really the man you want to be?
I'm confused.

Isn't this a traditional gender role? Don't we shun traditional gender roles here on this forum?

Or do we only do this when it's convenient for us?

There is no such thing as female hive mind. Different women are attracted to different things.

This is what I've been wondering, since early on in the OP's narrative. Women are attracted to guys with some level of pizzazz. The OP doesn't come across as that kind of guy, with sufficient confidence to have some of that spark. Though he says he's able to make women laugh, which is something, but ... that's not a golden key, by itself. IDK...
