First: what is the friend zone ..... it is When someone gets stuck in the friend zone, they have entered into an exchange friendship that isn't even. The other person is getting everything he/she wants...but the person stuck in the friend zone isn't. In a nutshell, the friend zone person sold himself or herself short. They gave their "friend" everything, without making sure they got everything they wanted in return.
Being "friend zoned" doesnt mean you give things. It doesnt have to be an uneven playing field. That is merely being stupid. If you are shelling out to/for a woman or man that has made it clear you won't be dating, that's on you.
Make your relationship intentions clear and if they aren't met, move on. The friendzone guys are the ones that stick around, long after they were rejected, hoping she changes her mind, if he becomes her doormat/spare shoulder to cry on. Women smell desperation from a mile away.

So how do you get out of the end zone?
The company of women means that you're not the main focus of attention unless you're already proven yourself worthy. She begins with 80% default attention and romance is a fight for equality. Her favourite topic of conversation is herself yet you are ever so gradually getting yourself noticed. Or not. I'd say the primary cause of the friendzone is pandering to a woman; if something worked once our tendency is to keep on doing it. Pandering to woman and doing the same thing everytime time just in general, these are the culprits. The way out is to let it go.

I have to ask, do you mean to let go of the friendship-zone relationship altogether, or just let go of the thought of taking it to a different level?
The "hopes" in friend zones hardly ever die, that's why people keep torturing themselves being in one... It's an unpleasant experience for both sides... But hey, nobody has tide you up...just go...

Most guys in the friend zone, keep thinking they can bring the woman around, so they follow them around like a little puppy.. They give, and give, while the woman is taking advantage of them.. My theory has always been, if she's not putting out, then dump the bisch.. JMO..
