There's this girl that I've met over a year now. I met her through a mutual friend and we started playing an online game together. She lives in NY and I live in NJ. We meet up at least once a month to hang out. Most of the time to go out clubbing or drinking at night. The first time we ever hung out, I had gotten a hotel room with two beds. Her girlfriends came out that night and it was late so we let her friends sleep on one bed and we shared the other. We had many moments during the first few times we've hung out, but I never got the balls to follow through with the signs. I'm a very shy guy. Anyway, after the third time we hung out, I asked her if she wants to do dinner and a movie and she agreed. However, I later asked her if it's a date and she said that I put myself in the friendzone, but she still wants to be friends. I backed off a little bit and expressed my disappointment. We started to hang out again because I had a hard time letting go and it would make it easier on me to still keep her as a friend. We've hung out atleast 3 more times after I told her how I felt.
The question I have for the ladies. Would you still take the time to go meet up with a guy to go to parties and clubs if you're not interested in him? I want to know if she's doing this to be nice, sees me as a friend(and leading me on) or if she's still exploring a possibility. I would have assumed if a girl is not interested, she would have ignored me more and not take the time to come out to see me. When we hang out, I would bring my friends and she would bring hers.
