In my friend group there is this girl I‘ve known for over a year.

Through deliberate Kino escalation (touching) and negging, I managed to make out with her last week.

Despite sleeping over at her place 2x to watch movies and also her sleeping over at my place once, I couldn’t get from making out to having sex without her pulling away. Seemingly out of feeling uncomfortable because all our friends would know if we had sex.

Normally when dating I get to f-close a girl after the second or third date, I‘m not used to this level of resistance.

How do I proceed here, move her back to friend zone and focus on other girls or is it worth being persistent here?
