So I met this girl on the train up to London, we started chatting and then ended up walking and talking and exploring London together for the next few hours before returning back to where we both attend college.

I didn't try to escalate on the first time, but we planned to see each other a few days later as we were joining two separate classes together. The first class was perfect for kino as we were in a self defense class, so naturally we had to be close proximity and involving some form of contact.

The second class was yoga, in which we kept laughing and joking and pushing each other over, things were going well.

The classes weren't the best place to try to initiate a k close so we arranged to go for lunch at a later date, we grabbed coffee , went to the park and chilled together, when I went to k close she straight up rejected me, told me that it's "her job" to friend zone me.

Fast forward to now, she's still friend zoned me, I still have a massive thing for her, we grab lunch every Friday and we recently went iceskating. At iceskating she said "this would be a perfect date, you'd definitely get something from the girl for this, just not me".
