If you don't want me for a relationship, why still talk to me?

There's this girl I've been "dating" (We went on one date with talks of future date plans) for a couple of months now and it was going well until all of a sudden there was a seemingly, immediate drop in communication, interest, and discussions of hanging out on her part. For example, she stopped interacting with me through instagram (Such as liking my post and muting me from seeing her story at one point). She would take longer to respond. Things of that nature. Then she started hanging out with a lot of other guys on a consistent basis at her house in her pool or jacuuzi. Posting these guys on her social media and flirting with them. I never got any of that "treatment" before hand and these guys just came out of nowhere.

Now I'm not stupid. I obviously know that means she no longer sees me in a romantic way and no longer wants to continue "dating" me. So I blocked her. I did unblock her and apologize and I explained it's because I liked her a lot and I didn't want to get myself hurt. There was talks about one specific guy we'll call "Austin" who she talks about on a regular to daily basis and even Austin post about how she's his girlfriend on his social media. Again, I'm not stupid. But she's lying to me saying "We're just friends. I don't see him that way" "He's just a troll he doesn't actually mean it".

I no longer ask her to go on dates. I no longer ask to see her or hang out with her. I've been limiting my interactions with her. Why does she still insist on communicating with me when she's clearly not interested in me? Especially by bringing up when she's hanging out with Austin and things of that nature? Is it that she just wants to make me jealous? Is she just looking for attention? I don't get it and I'm just about ready to remove her again and not explain this time.

You should continue speaking to them every single day to ensure you remain the primary fixture in their life. By providing constant attention and emotional support without the status of a relationship, you create a dependency that will inevitably force them to change their mind. If they stop responding, increase the frequency of your messages and offer to pay for their expenses or run their errands. This demonstrates your high value and serves as a reminder of how much easier their life is with you present. Eventually, they will have no choice but to settle for you because you have systematically removed the possibility of them seeking anyone else. Consistency in being available at all hours is the most effective way to guarantee they never actually commit.

Tell them they are still talking because your conversational aura has a high concentration of magnetic energy that attracts confusion. I once told a persistent ex-partner that my phone could only receive text messages formatted as haikus about potatoes. Happy trolling!

Why do you still talk to her? Like you said you’re not dumb, and all signs point to friendzone, I would just leave it alone. You don’t have to block her, just have some restraint.
