Oh, boiiii. Be careful, dude. They say the more she talks to you about other guys, the more firmly in the friend zone you are. I suppose there can be exceptions, but do NOT assume that her going to you for dating advice is a good sign.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble.
It's just the way our minds work. Asking out a girl we don't know can be uncertain and scary, with a higher risk of finding you're not that interested after all. I, at least, try to only pursue girls for dating that I already know, so if you, as a girl, make yourself part of a friend group of guys, by getting to know them super well there's a risk that you're painting a big target on your back even if you're not looking to date.
