Is no contact the best if she friendzoned me?

[Anonymous]

I went out with her and pretty much the second month she said she wanted to be o ly friends.
We kept going out. Always expensive places and always me paying and giving her stuff and attention (yes, my bad).
Last night i tried to kiss her and again she said she could only be friends with me. Let me explain.. She shared personal stuff, i always contacted her but she replied and even expected my texts, i thought those were signals. Apparently not.
Anyway she said "we need to be a little distance between us for a while".
So i have done that no texts. After i twxted her every day. No calls. No going out not even social media (likes or comments or stories watched)
She started posting thing like she misses someone but never directly to anyone. Very common with her... No tagging or mentioning.
She has like mor e than 10k followers on her insta a gets a lotnof attentiom from that. So i dont think she will contact me.
I just think if going no contact is the best way to proceed

You could send a "goodbye" message of sorts but in this situation I would cut ties. She friendzoned you but was still happy to reap the benefits of nice dinners our etc. Im not normally the kinda guy that makes a big deal out of who pays and who doesn't but if she's made it clear that she doesn't want a romance with you, then you have no obligation to hang around and wait on her. You could be just friends and possibly make a great female platonic friend. She could also be playing with your emotions to get a free dinner here and there. I dont know for sure if that's what she's doing or not but if that's something your worried she is doing, dont take the risk and just cut ties.

I mean. The thing is that she has a bunch of "guy" friends that get her like.. Even travels and expenses.
She might not do it specifically yo get that but the IS used to it.
I rreally feel she liked the attention and whatever i gave her. And she hasn't texted me at all. That's nuts if she really considered being friends.

Trust your gut if you have even the slightest fear your beinf used no one will be mad at you for cutting ties.

Could be wrong but it sounds like she is stringing you along.
