There is a friends zone sure but many people fail to acknowledge the zone where there is an attraction there but for some reason they won't act on it
Happened to me with an INFP girl who just couldn't let me get emotionally close to her despite insane amount of flirting it just wasn't going to happen, as much as I thought it was me at first it really wasn't, she has never let anyone close to her and I've learnt that I need to accept it and move on
I loved her so much and it saddens me that she couldn't bring herself to open up
