Consider it a lesson learnt, my friend. RM100 to unmask the true intentions of a person is a cheap way to learn the truth about a person's character.

Yup, very cheap lesson indeed. Knowing her relationship with her previous boyfriend, could've easily been 5 digits instead.

After my friend broke up with her boyfriend, I start to fall in love with her. Occasionally she would give me mixed signals, so I decided to confess to know where I stand. She rejected me politely and clearly, saying we could still be friends but I should never fall for her as she only sees me as a friend.

I tried, hoping I can suppress my feelings back to how when she had a boyfriend. But every time we see each other, I fall for her again. I don't think I'm ready for platonic relationship with her just yet.

Should I cut all contact with her, until I'm 100% ready for a purely platonic relationship? And how to tell that I'm 100% ready?

Looking at you yes.
Quite clear she is using you as rebound guy.
But from the way you write , you don't even know you are the rebound guy.

From the way you fall in love with her . It looks like you don't have much experience with women.
So yes, until you have more experience with women, you shouldn't contact her. I wouldn't say don't contact her , but treat her as an acquaintance, a hi bye friend.

She have the guts to "borrow" more money from me, before paying the previous one. Before this she always pay first before borrowing again.

The way she asked is not nice either. No backstory, no sharing her problems, she straightaway just send account number to me.

When confronted about it, she acts like I'm the one in the wrong. In the end she just say "nvm" and we have stopped contacting each other since.

Surprisingly I don't feel sad at all, as if nothing of value was lost. She can keep the previous loan of around rm100 for all I care.

It's great that you had decided to cut ties. 😁

I know her bf spent a lot on her, but she told me she never asked for it, so I give her benefit of the doubt. Seems like her actions and her words are complete opposite.

It was not that hard once I realize the ideal person I like is far from ideal.

Oftentimes, reality bites after the veneer of "the perfect woman of one's dream" is removed.

Having mutual friends def fucked up ur mental, it’s either u or her having the mutual friend group in the end, fortunately some shit happened in the middle of the duration after that and got back with the friend group, well, excluding her, and she found herself her friend group, nonetheless, still kind awkward tho whenever we meet f2f, I would just completely ignore her as if she was invisible cuz fuck y not

But definitely can’t be friends because of the recurring feelings when u two are together in the same settings, n u know damn well chances of getting together is slimmer to none, and secondly the awkwardness, cuz fuck being supressed expressing urself while in a group of mutual friends like u gotta act cool but ur inside is not

But I’m happy for him. Last thing I would want for any person is to be taken advantage of as a mobile ATM

if she treat you as frens and even stated it why wud she do that, or you misinterpreted due to the fact you had feelings for her and you convince yourself she is giving you mixed signals.

maybe you havnt been seeing a lot of girls and too focused on this one that you wanted her so much?

Usually if a person blows hot and cold, my first suspicion would be whether there's another party involved, and whether I'm merely the back up plan...

Maybe ..just maybe she saw your suffering and decided to help u...by 'killing' u off by being a disgusting person to u. She is your friend so she might know what would tick u off.
What do u think about this?

Unlikely, IMHO ... because a girl wouldn't necessarily use money to turn off a guy... they would normally use another guy to turn off a guy.
