Just be honest. Are you okay with just being friends? If so, then say so. If not, then say so.

Stop overthinking it.

This.

Though given you're posting on here, I'm gonna take it that being friends will just tear you up OP and you'll never actually be her friend, you'll just be holed up waiting hoping she'll change her mind.
>Protip, she won't.

So do yourself a favor and say thanks but no thanks and move along.

But I'm conflicted, hence the thread.

I like her and I'm happy when we're together but I'd be even happier if we were a couple.

Are schmucks like me really this easy to read?

Yes and no. It's a natural thing really. It's nearly impossible to be "just friends" with someone you have feelings for. Even for true alphas.
But, alphas know they've been rejected and know there's no point in pretending to be "just friends" so they shrug it off and find the next chick to flirt with.

Seeing too much of this cap on this board. Being just friends or friendzoned is a misuse of the word friend. You will end up trying to be her boyfriend without the physical affection. It will be a horrible torturous one sided event where you deal with all the shot and get nothing back except blue balls and a false sense of hope. If you can't treat her like one of your Bros then she isn't your friend. What happens when she gets a bf? If you still decide to be "friends" with her, start asking her if she has any single friends to hook you up with. See how far that gets you.
