Friendzoned a friend of mine and now she’s trying harder, what do I do?

Hi all,

Im struggling with what to do in this situation. I recently friendzoned someone due to some differences in long term goals and they’re current situation.

While she understood and respected how I was feeling, she’s a friend of mine. Things haven’t necessarily been weird but she occasionally makes sexual jokes or expresses some hurt in wanting to one with me.

I’ve been keeping my distance in hopes that I don’t lead her on. She’s asked to hang out a bit later and I’m not sure if I should go? I’ve loosely agreed as I didn’t want to hurt her feelings however, earlier today she made a joke about hooking up.

I really don’t want to be put in this situation but I also don’t want to let her down as she’s going through some personal issues too?

Any advice?
