Get the Friend-Zonemug. A term used by women when they reject your romantic advancements. Both men and women can find themselves "friendzoned" due to the fact they did not make their original intentions known. Men and women can strictly be friends only under certain circumstances; ie: no attraction, childhood friends, both are in a relationship, etc. People that find themselves in the Friend Zone only have themselves to blame, make your intentions known at the very beginning or the other person will think you are only interested in a platonic friendship. Being the nice guy and never making a move will never work, and will always reserve yourself a comfortable purple loveless sofa in the Friend Zone.
From personal experience, being friends first does not work! Do not confuse being friends with being friendly! Let me clarify further, obviously if you treat the person like total utter crap and they have self worth they will not date you. If you treat the person like a sibling then they will immediately Friend Zone you to oblivion and beyond. Make your romantic intentions known as early as possible!
I will use an example of how I got friendzoned and handled the situation, NEVER put yourself in this situation in the first place! It's a horrible place to be in!

Chris: I want to be more than friends
Katie: If you told me this months ago, it would have been different. But I only see you as a friend
Chris: Fuck the Friend Zone
Chris: Get back to me once you change your mind

Get the Friend zonemug. When the person from the opposite (or same) sex rejects you're proposol of getting into a relationship with them, but still wants to be friends with you, most people hate being friendzoned, because THEY THINK the person they want to get into a relationship with will probably choose a good for nothing man/woman over them, don't think like this, the person who friendzoned you probably won't go in a relationship with you is probably not because the like somebody else, maybe they are asexual, or can't date you because they're parents forbid it, just because someone doesn't want to date you, doesn't mean that they like someone else, and a lot of people forget.
Good example of dealing with a friend zone:
Kyle: Hi Sarah, i have meaning to tell you this, but i had a crush on you since elementary school, and being friends for so long, i wanna tell you that i love you and i wanna get into a relationship with you.
Sarah: wow Kyle, i never thought you liked me like that, but i'm not ready for a relationship, but i still want to be friends!
Kyle: that's ok, even if you don't feel the same way, i don't wanna make a big fuss about it, i really don't want this friendship to end, come, let's go get some ice cream.
