If the men are telling you they just want to be friends not date don't chase them harder. They are probably not playing hard-to-get. They are not interested in dating you. This happens. I meet lots of people I am not interested in dating.

Allowing a man to be friends with you first and seeing where things go is not always a bad way to get a romance. Some men won't want to take things farther, but at least you will have a friend.

Clearly on-line dating is not working for you. Try different ways of meeting potential dating partners. I hope something works out for you.
