Trapped in the "friend zone" again. On the outside looking in.

You say that this girl uses you...how so? Just because you talk her through her situations? I guess that could be considered using if all you do is talk about her. I just think this girl is all over the place and a shy one. It does seem like you are in the friend zone for sure and is the reason it doesn't matter if she texts you back or not because you are just a friend. If you really want to try to be in a relationship with her just tell her that you think you kind of are starting to have feelings for her...I wouldn't say you always have or that would just be awkward I guess. I would say that she has had rough times and you could show her a good time and what a nice guy is all about for a change. If you find out that she is just a bunch of drama in a relationship then you can always dump her.
