You always spoil her without question, so she keeps you firmly in the friendzone. She’ll be expecting something ever more elaborate for the next ‘friend date’.
She notices the visible look of disappointment on your face as she gives you a goodbye hug. Certainly, she’ll laugh about it with her boyfriend tonight.
You’ve been wanting to date her for awhile, but she was with some other guy. When that guy broke up with her, she was devastated. She really counted on your friendship for those couple of months as she got over it. Now she comes to you, and you think maybe she is interested in going out with you. But she really just wants your input so she can make a tinder profile for other guys. You’re her good friend, so you’ll help. Maybe you’ll get to some suggestive pictures of her??

You show her plenty of attention and do many favors for her, but you’ll never get into her pants. She knows how to string a beta along. Still it’s nice to pretend that this was a date, and that you’ll be the one fucking her tonight instead of some random dude.
