Do not be her friend. She does not want to date her friends. You are her date, you are not looking for a friend, are you?

I have to disagree with you there. If you want something more then a short term relationship you should be her friend. You just shouldn't be her "girl friend". She has female friends for that (and if she doesn't that is a major warning sign.)

But friend yes.

That’s pretty much what I meant, not being her girlfriend. Friendship can grow from dating, but your approach should be romantic, not friends. It’s a different mindset.

There’s that term, the dreaded “friends zone”. That’s what I’m talking about.
