Search Results: flirting while in a relationship

1. known a girl 2 months, hung out a few times, kissed her (her first kiss) , flirted with her, etc.

2. weeks later, u say u aren't ready for a relationship, wrong timing, u don't wanna hurt her. (ur super popular and have options, u are very picky with girls and aren't sure about her).3. She suggests being friends. u agree, but text her 2 days later when she says she has to go to bed and u say "Okayyy Sweet Dreams <3 " and "Aww okayy" etc.

Then, the next day, you're hanging out with your bros and u are texting with her and she says "Haha I'll stop interrupting you and your friends :) lol " and you tell her she's not interrupting and encouraging her to text you. and THEN YOU SAY "Wish you were here" to which she says "aweh!!" and carries on the convo.

4.Then she says she wants to show you a dorky video of her that will change your impression of her forever lol that she showed her best friend, and you say "Haha Nah, I want to maintain your sexy image in my mind", u two flirt a little then she says " Haha it's impossible to be friends if we keep building this sexual tension" and you say "We can be more if you play your cards right" and she has to go to bed, but said "Guess we will have to find out tomorrow goodnight ;) " and you say Okayy with a kiss face emoji.

5. She doesn't text you the next day... or the next.. or the next. It's been 3-4 days. She also didn't like your amazing photo on Instagram. But she watches all your snapchat stories, and at school, you see her sitting at a table talking and laughing with her friends; and another guy sitting next to her and you lock eyes with her for like 10 seconds while you walk by.

But she still waves at you and on Halloween (same say you see her with friends and a guy sitting by her), she is wearing a coller, cat ears, shorts, high heels, and stockings. She comes up to you to say hey! You say heyyy. Then, again, you haven't talked, and she still hasn't texted you.

How come everyone says it's possible to be friends only with guys while I reached my 30's and still can't achieve it?
I met a guy on working platforms and thought we will be friends but now he has a crush on me while I'm in a relationship. This is 5th time happening over the years. I'm not even wearing revealing clothes nor flirting with them.

Did you have success being friends only with a girl?
