Oh I love this one! My roommate FIRMLY believes in the friend zone. Me, I do not. I certainly have friends that've told me they wouldn't date me because they see me as a brother/bestfriend/whathaveyou, but that is a mutual thing that we've purposely built.

Personally, I think it builds a more stable relationship to have a friendship first before dating.

I am curious as to what the women here would think. You might get more valuable insight from them.
