<p>Does no one think that the original post doesn’t make much sense?</p>
<p>Like, for instance – how can you be “dating” and yet the girl is not aware that you are interested in her romantically. Hell, that’s kind of what happens when you ask someone out on a date. Unless you just “hung out” a bunch of times - you thinking you were courting her - she thinking it was just a friends thing.</p>
<p>Usually when someone tells me they are “dating” someone it’s the pre-relationship phase and usually they know each other somewhat well and like each other romantically. But I guess it’s possible you went on a couple dates with this girl and there was no chemistry.</p>
<p>Anyhoo — when a girl says “let’s be friends” you’re pretty much screwed. </p>
<p>There are some ways to get out of the friendzone, but they take a lot of time and effort and are unlikely to work. In my experience, they pretty much involve either the girl seeing you as a completely different person after some time has elapsed (because you have changed, not because she forgot you) - or because the girl “friended” you because she has a boyfriend but still finds you attractive. But most of the time the girl in question simply does not like you - and that won’t ever change. Hence, move on.</p>
