What does this text mean?

[Anonymous]

So I started chatting with a girl who I met on a dating app, we exchanged numbers and we've only texted for 2 days, but she asked "can we just be friends and see where this goes? "

What does it mean when a girl says this?

It means she wants to get to know you better before putting a label on what the two of you are. She wants to take things slow so she can decide if she wants a relationship or not. Don't pressure her. It won't do anything but hurt your chances.

There is nothing wrong with being friends first instead of labeling "girlfriend" or "dating". Take some time to get to know each other and really determine whether it is worth either of your time to get into a committed relationship. You (or her) may find that it just isn't a good match. That happens.

Pressuring her to be more than friends right now is going to do nothing but drive her away. She is looking for time to really know what kind of person you are and if you are someone that she would consider dating. Give her that respect and take things slow.

You should look at it as an opportunity as well and not just for her.

Perfect answer, thanks

She doesn't want you to come on strong and she may not even want a boyfriend right now. Keep in touch, hang out with her, but don't make a move until she indicates a change of thinking.

do not put any sexual type pressure on me. I want to know if I like your person before becoming physical... but we can kiss to see if there is a Vibe.

Can I call you and speak... texting can be so confusing and I find speaking to be a better option. "I have no problem with your text, so let's go be friends and see what happens (say text back ACCURATELY.. like you have been thinking on it) . Present Plan place, date, pick-you-time. If not excited sounding then "what about..."(give her second option BUT walk her through her second option WITHOUT her realizing that it was an option all the while (trust issue if not handled well).
Then I'm going to let you decide "what we do' but I have the rest covered. Do NOT negotiate everything in Plan away-no respect for you if that occurs. Flowers at pick-up... none of this meeting crap as that eliminates flowers tone setting.
Got it?

She wants to go slow.

It means she's not interested

It means she wants to take things slow.
