Ai is unironically my favorite female social link in the series. You can't act like you want her as if she's the rich school slut or you'll never romance her, and if you take the opportunity to make her your girlfriend in the direct aftermath of her suicide attempt then she'll realize she wants to just be friends instead.
You have to be there for her as her friend without any possibility of a reward. It restores her faith in humanity as a whole and then that's what makes her realize she's in love with you for real.

Everyone who portrays her as a findom bitch os comically missing the point.
