3 is right... Your intentions are obvious just by posting here.

Too many guys do this. They want to be "friends" so they can't get dumped, but be pesky and obviously want to enter a relationship, yet don't give the girl any way to turn them down since they are "just friends" and "being nice without wanting something back", even though anyone can see you are trying to make it into a relationship and she just wants out.

And of course, if the girl accepts your "niceness" or "friendship" but doesn't want to get into a relationship, she was "using you" or "stringing you along".

Sorry to rant. Obviously this happened to me from the other side considering all the "quotes" I used.
