Most sensible guys, nice or not, realise fairly quickly when a woman doesn’t want them. It is only the gambler types that stay on for the pain. It is far kinder for yourself, as a proverbial ‘nice’ guy, to move on rather than bash your head against a wall. Have some self respect. No is no. You’d rather want someone who wanted you, wouldn’t you? The friend zone is you being a pussy, in no uncertain terms. You should have moved on already.
I was on PlentyofFish several years ago and I pursued this particular woman but when I met her in real life she was pretty horrible to people, not the kind of person I would even like as a friend. She even savaged the waiter in a particular restaurant for no good reason. I knew it was done for after that point. Guys, be kind to yourself, don’t settle for bullshit. If it’s not right, it’s not right.
BTW, it is okay to have friends that are women and have no sexual ulterior motives. It’s called being a friend. Having them is good. I have two female friends at work and am glad they are in my corner.
Be good to yourself and all will fall into place.
