@Ed-Billings friend zone hurts because of how you approach women. You shouldnt let your self get attracted and invested too much before you figure out what the sitiation between you two is gonna be. Its a fact that many of us gets friendzoned and it will happen whether you like it or not. Before investing too much just understand if she likes you too and tell them what you feel and your goal meeting with them at the start.
Also if she makes you feel bad for not talking to her bc of getting friendzoned she isnt grown up mentally. Just cut it loose and leave her selfish ass. Good luck
