Many of us wake up, shower, and dress every day, date or not. 

I also .... gasp.... drive!

Sometimes I even put petrol into my car!

He has no chance with this woman. If a woman told me we can meet as friends, I would be very insulted. Don't humiliate yourself and agree to this nonsense. Drop her like a hot potato.

Exactly.  They've never met in person and haven't talked in six years, not sure what else he would expect...

Doesn't mean it has to stay platonic after they meet.

Well, nothing's impossible.  But he'd need pretty good game to turn it into a relationship from the 'meet as friends' point.

I wouldn't say "you were getting rejected" because there's nothing to reject.

She clearly spelled out it just friends catching up killing time.

As she just got divorced she is throwing her net far and wide.
She probably doesn't want to go on dates with guys who will want to get hot and heavy with her hence the "friends" request.
She is probably in no state to date properly but want to get out there to see what is available.
I could be wrong but 6 years ago she probably put you into the friendzone, hence why it never went anywhere.
Now she probably just wants to catch up, see how life has treated you, maybe do a bit of unloading of her own woes.
BUT you never really know how things will pan out, she wants to meet you which is a bonus.
With an open, optimistic mind you can work wonders.
Leave the negativity and resentment behind...
See this as FUN. what else would you really be doing anyway?

Well, the premise of meeting on a dating site is to date romantically (unless she has specified in her preferences that she's only looking for platonic), so there is a rejection of sorts here.  

It's the OP's choice as to whether or not he wants to enter the friendzone.  It's tough sledding to get out of it for any guy, much less one that's still working on basic dating funadmentals.

To me it comes down to time and what value OP places on his.  If the OP sees this as an opportunity to practice dating without expectation of anything more than getting experience, then I think it'd be a productive use of his time.

Tell her you’d rather not meet since you don’t sleep with your friends.

Tbh, I just did the same thing as her

 

I went out with a guy I met before, wasn't too interested back then but wanted to go out so why not? 

 

She was honest about what she wanted. Either you're okay with that or you don't go
