"Just friends"

Keep anon please I'll keep this short. Guy A meets Girl B, likes Girl B. Spends months dillydaddling about, finally tells her. Finds out Girl B 'did' like Guy A for a while when they met, but...gave up waiting? (woe is Guy A). Girl B just wants to be friends for now. Guy A accepts decision, but down (understandably) about it as well (and, kicking himself taking so long. Painful lesson learnt). Both still get on just as well as they did before, genuinely being friends. Guy A though still hopes (foolishly?) he might have a chance. Hears lots of conflicting advice from different sides on what to do. Should Guy A: Keep hanging around with her, being friends & move on by/and meet other people Keep hanging around with her, in the hope something changes/develops Distance himself from her to get over her Distance himself from her to 'play games' Cut contact (no thanks) Wait a few weeks, then try again more slowly, asking her out on a small, 'friendly' date
