So I met a girl through a friend of mine, who was her cousin. We have been talking for about a week now. She knows I'm interested in becoming something, but after a very long conversation today, I'm confused. She told me she likes to keep things natural, she says she likes to first be friends, then become close friends that know everything about each other, and then afterwards feelings may grow. My issue is I don't agree with that, because isn't going on a date how you find out if someone is compatible with you? Also becoming close friends could take years like 3+ She said she wants to get to know me as friends I just said okay Ill work on being a good friend. Also I told her I vape and that the only reason I would stop is if I get in a relationship and they ask me to stop, I do it out of respect. She then told me she wouldn't date someone who vapes so I said alright I'll stop vaping, because honestly it isn't the best thing for me health wise plus I want to be with her, and she's like don't change unless you really want that for yourself, to which i said i really want to change for myself. We are meeting Wednesday but she it made it clear it's not a date and just two friends hanging out. What should I do to earn her trust, become that "close friend" and hopefully become something later on, or should I just block her and forget about it?
