Casually Explained: The Friend Zone

I'm kind of in a similar situation. I realise the video is a joke, but its nice to see an honest response too.

I like this girl a lot. Been doing the single thing for a while, but not the player part. Just being alone, working on my own issues. I had previously gotten out of a 5 year relationship. Didn't feel a need to run directly into another.

But i met this girl who stands out. I initiated conversation, turns out we have a lot to talk about. I like her more, and eventually ask when we can hang out. I tell her dinner and a movie. Goes really well, I pay for dinner and we watch deadpool in my room. She ended up staying the night because we stayed up late talking and shes too tired to drive. But nothing major happens. Just some cuddling.

The next week she's very busy, so I just run into her on bowling night where a bunch of friends go. We end up talking the whole time and not bowling. She says she's happy being single, and she doesn't know her intentions with me yet because she may be facing a move to another state in 6 months to a year.

I'm honest with her. I like her a lot, and that's okay with me. We can play it by ear. So we go to dinner again, and yet again to my place for a movie. More cuddling.

Then she starts texting me when she's bored, or saying she wanted to make plans but doesnt know what. Two nights ago she stayed over with me again after a movie, and this time the cuddling was much more intimate and close. I kissed her in the morning, because I felt I'd be pushing a little too hard if it was while we were laying in my bed.

Tonight she just texted she doesn't feel like bowling and asked if I'd want to chill out again, she's tired.

At this point I can't believe that I'm misreading signals yeah? I know she wants to take it slowly. I know she has reservations, but I've been nothing but very honest, and haven't pushed it hardly at all. Except the kiss I suppose. I'm truly into her for her, and not that I might get some.

What do you think, coming from a point where you waited out the friends thing?
