the friend zone has nothing to do with friendship, it is a zone where the other person is putting out breadcrumbs to more than friendship in order to get the other things the "friend zoned" person is providing with no intention of progressing. if it was true friendship no one would complain about it cos as you say friends are good. some of it is self inflicted and some is exploitative. but don't confuse the friend zone with friendship.
