Okay so here's a little background on this girl. It's my ex's best friend. I've known her for maybe 5 years but we've been closer for the last 2 1/2. We go out dancing, get drunk and have a lot of fun every once and a while. Things get somewhat sexual but never seem to get to the point of kissing. I know this is because of my ex(we were together almost 5 years) Now I'm not a seduction guy. I know my faults. I drop in on seduction / theredpill from time to time. The only reason I've had any success is because of my looks and when I have used some of the knowledge I've learned from you guys. I'm the classic nice guy. I don't blame woman though. I understand, have made adjustments but I do fall into old habits. Now I have had friends that say "give up", "it would have happened by now", "your in the friend zone". But I don't believe that. There's a barrier of friendship there that is stopping this and I know if I could get a kiss I could close. This isn't revenge I'm not trying to ruin a friendship. I just really like this girl. A couple weeks ago she drunk texted me and said that "she'd be all over my ass if me and C weren't involved" and that I'm a sweetheart and need someone to treat me as good as I treated her. So I went for it...I said I like you, I wanna take you out. She was hesitant and said "what about C, I know she still loves you".... And I replied with "this isn't about me and her it's about me and you and your not saying no". So she agreed to a date, which unfortunately was planned for a week later and she canceled. Obviously over concerns with C. We went out last night dancing and drinking and again went our separate ways. At the end of the night. What are my options here?
