Hey after being the shy nice guy for pretty much my entire life I've realized and decided that it simply doesn't get you what you want. As a little background, I'm a junior in college that has never even kissed a girl(though no one even suspects this from me). I'm decently attractive and have a great body from rock climbing, running, and weightlifting, nor am I completely awkward around women, unless I like them of course. And when I feel nervous I just act friendly(which goes well but doesn't get me anywhere) and basically friendzone myself really fast.

I've read a bunch of the advice and after reading this: http://www.reddit.com/r/seduction/comments/kifdh/how_do_i_talk_to_a_girl_passing_by/

It seems so simple to me, I'm actually really excited to try this tomorrow. Think I will ask for the time, perhaps make a comment if they seem hurried or really relaxed or their clothing. Whatever's in the moment. If it goes well then I'll try to go for r/100sets.

The only thing holding me back now is how to deal with this one girl I know. She liked me for a really long time, but I've pretty much friend zoned myself after playing it cool for like months and months. If I even asked her out a week or two ago I probably could've done it. Anyway, I finally decided to ask her out and got rejected. great! Atleast I did it and that's when I realized that it's really not that bad.

The issue is this: I'd like to leave room for some future romance, and she is a friend with all my friends as well so I'm not just going to cut her off. She's just went on a first date some other guy, which is fine, but I am going to see her at some point, many points probably since she's in my social group.

How exactly should I act? If I just ignore her then it seems like I'm bitter. I'm not gonna be the nice guy that's always there for her, so what I've been thinking is to tell her whenever we next talk that despite being good friends for like 1/2 a year, I wish her the best but I'm not into being just friends and basically play it cool around her whenever my friends are around. No meeting for lunch and no texting etc, which I do with everyone else.

Basically am I on the right path both with regards to the path I've set myself on, and how I deal with this girl?

Thanks for any help!
