Never, Never Be Friends With Any Woman Who Lets-Just-Be-Friends You in dating. What I'm going to say will sound harsh, so I apologize in advance. She LJBF'd you after you showed interest. You befriended her anyway. She was seeing someone else and is now out of reach. You don't like LJBF, you resent it. Walking away and cutting off all contact with her is the best option. Never be friends with any woman who LJBFs you explicitly or implicitly.

What are you getting out of this "friendship" in dating? She gets affirmation and validation in the form of attention from a man whom she knows wants a romantic relationship with her. You get nothing. She is using you and wasting your time. Do absolutely nothing for a woman who LJBFs you. Do not spend time with her unless you and she happen to be in the same place with mutual friends. Do not be her friend.

Do not indulge her by listening to her stories of her asshole boyfriends, her pump & dump misadventures, or how "I just want a nice guy who will treat me right." Don't return her phone calls or texts. Under no circumstances should you spend any money on her or give her any help. Women are gatekeepers of sex. But YOU are the gatekeeper of your investment and commitment. Your time, money, expertise are valuable.

Don't expend them on anyone unworthy or unwilling to reciprocate. This woman wants you to invest in her for free. She wants your time, money, resources, but expects to give nothing back. Her view is her presence is enough. No. That's a waste of your time. Men who do this for women are called emotional tampons. She bleeds her emotions all over you, expected to absorb them. She discards you. Put an end now.
