Well I struggled a few times if I really should try to get some help...
I was reading the Girl Age Threads since the beginning and I was really suprised how motivating and encouraging these threads were.
Now I got a problem too. I am not social awkward or anything like that (I got many friends, am social, try to interact with new people, I am able to hold an interesting conversation...)
Last year I had a crush on a friend whom I knew for a year. We interacted with eachother really nice, I wasn't clingy (she was sometimes upset when I wasn't really try to hold contact) and on the weekend we had fun - didn't kiss when we were out to drink, but we cuddled blabla. Well I never went for the kiss close and tried to get together with her, she didn't like the idea - "friends" blabla you know the old stupid friendzone shit. Nothing really important. At that I knew another friend in my friendcircle with whom I didn't do something, who I didn't really know other from drinking when we were by a friend and so on. Just a comrade I guess.
When I was a little depressed she was suddenly there and comforted me and gave me strength to do something more, to be more manly, she coached me a bit and said that I should read "Lob des Seximus" (German Title) from Lodovico Satana and should live by that rules. Well I did and was really succesful - good job girl.
At that time she was every day after work at my place and we talked, had fun, watched movies, had the same friendcircle (so we were together at the bar) and she really didn't tell me her problems. Somethings we were fighting (like friends), I often massaged her, it was the "best friend" thingy.
What changed the whole situation was that she tried to stalk with who I was doing things on other days (other girls) and she even tried to banish them (she is a... very dominant woman). At that time I wasn't really sure what she was doing but it also didn't really affect me.
She always called me best friend, we got in a fight when I was doing things with the girl from time right before we were doing things together and that did effect me a bit. Somethings then she really hurt me when we were fighting and because I wasn't really trying to hurt her (who would hurt a woman?) I wasn't really sure if she had respect.
Then there was one week where a friend of mine moved in my area and we had the change to do more than normal. She was jealous and even said if I was trying to exchange her with my other friend. She suddenly did the same thing month later with another person and I was suddenly hurt - I was angry, she was missing, she even lied to me when she was at my place and said that she was going home, but then went to his place. I even knew that both of them didn't have something with eachother, because he was a pussy, but it bugged me a bit - whatever.
After another month I talked with her, that I didn't really liked him (he was in general a problem in our friendcircle, nobody really liked him at all) and since then he is gone. I tried to be more tolerant with myself and even was able to get her calm down when she was bitchy. We get along quiete better than in the beginning and I know that I really like her, she isn't really that pretty, but she's got something which I like.
She didn't like me watching playing videogames or watching anime, but she noticed that I enjoy these things and tried to get into these and even enjoys these now (she plays rockband everyday and watched Death Note atm) she even talks at her workplace about these things even she said that these things are for kids in the past.
At her home she has to share a room with her 2 year younger sister, I guess that's a point for her strange behaviour sometimes.
I really really like this girl and even though she's a bit complicated I want to try it with her, but "friendzone" is one of the things that holds that off. Another thing that sucks is that when I try to freeze out she notices this and says "well, you freeze out now - I am gone forever" one time I said "okay, bye" and she started to cry, 5 days later I noticed that I can't really do this, but she was contacting me, we were talking, and everything was okay.
Another information, we both are 21.
Longest post in GAF History and not even the whole story I guess, but you should get the gist.
My english is not the best (German GAF!) I really hope I get a few advices how to handle the whole thing and to get her.
TL;DR
Friend of mine which I didn't know before, came into my life, we both cling to eachother, I now want to get her, friendzone, how to get her with er dominant behaviour (stupidest TL;DR ever...)
