How do I become friends with a woman without an ulterior motive?

Make friends with girls that have similar interests

I don't really connect with people quickly based on our interests. It takes me a long time to want to share the stuff I like with people. I'd rather find out what kind of person they are and work from there.

>I feel like a jerk but any effort I make to contradict this feels fake.

Being friends with a woman is almost identical to being friends with a man if you actually don't want to fuck her.

If you have to go out of your way to make sure your interactions aren't "fake" then its because you want to be more than friends. Its just pretending to be friends, at that point.

I know how you feel. I have a female friend like this, and it's not a weird friend zone thing, either. We are both single, find each other attractive, and are very close. We just happened to not want to date/fuck each other for whatever reason.

>be friends with a girl
>end up falling with love because I'm terribly starved for feelings

>Meet a girl the other night
>She seems really cool, I get her number
>We hang out and get coffee
>She mentions a boyfriend, seems into him
>Well, whatever, she's still pretty dank and we get along well
>We're gonna hang out again this week, I'm not planning any moves unless I get some clear signals

That's it. You know the saying "there's plenty of fish in the sea"? You really learn to internalize it once you have a few girlfriends.

There's always more girls. Always. More. Girls. There is always.

More.

Girls.

Why do you want to make friends with people you're not interested in?

Either your testosterone is low or you must have given up sex for a year long lent
