Over the last few months I have realised I have been put in orbit (new to trp). I did not escalate quickly enough after flirting back and forth, and have now found out she has been 'seeing' (fucking) someone for 2 months.

Whenever she is in the mood she will try to give me hugs, follow me around, do things for me, flirt, snapchat me etc. but I have no intention of wasting my time if she's letting some other guy hit it while I dance around the borders of the friend zone.

I know the best thing to do is cut contact but we are in the same friendship group and see her at basically every work/social event.

My question to you guys is, how do I appropriately reject her attention seeking? I understand the idea of giving everyone else around her more attention but what do I say when she inevitably asks what's wrong? I do not want to appear needy and butthurt.

As a side note, this girl has many willing orbiters, so I feel this will be a shock to her system ;)
