I know we’re only friends now after a failed talking stage but I really miss talking to her on the phone and hanging out. I wasn’t expecting things to change drastically after not making a relationship work. She told me things are still mutual it’s just our situations and different life paths and fear of committing being the main reasons why a relationship can’t work right now (😞) we talked about it a bit and she mentioned randomly how she missed being on the phone with me during work but we still never got to talk on the phone especially after the whole “we should stay friends” thing.
She comes off as shy and awkward and told me how she doesn’t want to make me feel uncomfortable or anything so I guess her way of doing that is distancing and not really talking to me. Yesterday she randomly went ghost (by the way we text daily even if it’s just a couple responses back) and told me “I’m sorry I was dealing with a lot mentally” which I respect completely but I just feel as though she’s distancing from me or focusing on someone else now or something else I don't know.
I really miss hanging out with her. We’ve only been on 3 dates and the rest we’ve FaceTimed or talked on the phone being cute and flirty but I don't know how to tell her without coming off as weird or too pushy. I don’t want to overstep anything. (by the way we still do flirt and mess around, texting wise, but the vibe now just seems a little off)….

Here's what I would do:
- Give her some space for now. Even just a few days of no contact could help get some perspective.
- Respect that she said you're just friends. Pushing for more when she's not ready will likely backfire.
- Instead of bringing up hanging out alone, suggest a low-key group thing if possible. Takes pressure off being a "date".
- Ask casual questions to show you care about her life, but don't interrogate about what's bugging her mentally.
- Compliment her in a genuine way sometimes to boost her confidence in you as a friend.
- Keep your interactions light, fun and pressure-free for now. Things may open up more naturally that way over time.
- Don't double/triple text if she's slow to reply. Come off needy. Stay busy with your own thing.
- See how she initiates after a bit. If less, then back off more. Focus on you and maybe she'll come around.
Hope this helps! The friend zone sucks but play it cool and who knows, maybe something more will happen down the road. Gotta respect her space for now though.
