Hi everyone,

I'm a student of TRP seeking advice on how to best respond to a girl (we'll call her M) who's trying to pull the LJBF line. M is a very attractive girl and thats largely why I pursued her when I was still a blue pill. Among my cringeworthy mistakes was allowing my emotions to get the better of me; I told M guarded secrets about myself, thereby destroying any mystery about me. Unsurprisingly, she lost interest and returned to her ex as a result. When she told me about this, I was crushed and her question, "can we still be friends?" seemed innocuous. Foolishly, I said yes. In retrospect, I've realized that I dodged a bullet with my own incompetence; M is emotional, impulsive, indecisive, and a feminist.

Since then (8 months ago) I've entered grad school and used the transition as an opportunity to improve myself (clothing, game, exercise, learning RP theory, etc). Applying the Red Pill is like seeing the power of realpolitik in a market full of idealists!

Anyway, I recently received a text from M asking why I haven't contacted her and spoken to her, missing our conversations as "pals". In a few months I'll go from not seeing her on campus at all to seeing her often, so I anticipate that she'll want some explanation for why I'm not speaking to her. I realize that she is simply seeking attention and favours from an orbiting beta, but I've decided that I'm not interested in playing along with the LJBF game. She's just not worth keeping around when there so many dateable women, and its not like I would keep her around for intellectually stimulating conversations. In short, I stand to gain nothing from this "friendship" while she looks for attention and favours.

My question is, how do I diplomatically snuff a fake "friendship" arrangement without making an enemy of her? I'm not interested in getting out from the friendzone to a level of attraction (I blew that royally), I just want to get rid of it without being left with a petty, vindictive woman and a common social circle.

Thanks!
