Hi, I'm a 29M, I have an "Average" game but overall feel good with it and I'm always try to improve it.

So i have this shy female friend i've known for like 7 years now, we sometimes go out, have some drinks and nothing else past that. A few years ago she told me she was into me, but at that time i wasn't into her, she was just one more friend for me.

After some hangouts with her, recently one that happened a month ago i started to feel this connection with her but in the way for a LTR, which i'm very open to have since i haven't have one for like ~5 years and most of my girl interactions are just short-term, mostly because i don't find what i'm looking for.

Yesterday we went to a nightclub, had some drinks, danced a bit, and she noticed 2 girls were looking at me, she told me, i looked back to the girls, one smiled but i wasn't interested, she asked me why i just replied with "I'm not interested". We kept the night going until almost the nightclub closing time, at that time we were just sitting on couch talking (She was a bit drunk by that time) until she asked me about the 2 girls again i replied again i wasn't interested, we kept talking and she suddenly asked me if i'd see us (me and her) in a relationship, i replied completely honest and said yes, she was surprised and told me she liked me too but she thought i didn't liked her etc... She kept asking me why i liked her, since when, and all that while i was driving her back to her house, and we kept talking about that.

I left her at her house before she got off the car she told me "Our next date will be as couple" to which i said yes, (no kissing was involved or anything).

Problem comes the next day, she texts me on instagram she is feeling bad cus all the drinks she had, we keep talking about that night but not about me and her liking each other, just random stuff that happened and what we drank, she then tells me she feels so sorry if she was intense or made me feel uncomfortable to which i replied that didn't happen and i enjoyed the night with her, and she just tells me "Let's just forget everything about that day".

So i don't understand what went wrong, i know she was being honest about liking me, because even her brothers have told me that before, but i had the expectation on a LTR with her and now i'm on the limbo.

Appreciate any advices.
