Guys, if a woman wanted friendship FIRST

And to take the beginning stages of hanging out, talking, text etc slow, would you continue to see her? Or go for someone who was just ready for a relationship?
(And that she explained she enjoyed you, as to take OUT the notion of friend zoned, but just needed to go slow)

I have a friend who is going through this right now. He has given this women a boatload of hints that he is crushing on her, but there is a language barrier as well as a cultural one, so I have advised him to "slow down to her pace". The thing is, and also as I've told him, "you can't force someone to commit, they must choose to do that on their own and at their own pace. OTOH... no one can have 'too many friends' and without knowing what is going on with the thought processes in her head......you are just guessing as to what she really is thinking".

So.... My advice to people finding themselves in this situation is "Just be a good friend, because the best relationships develop from good friendships." And if it is not meant to be.... well you still have a good friend.
