Another person I've talked to about the girl I like has brought it to my attention that I might even be stuck in the friend-zone already. I can't help but feel like I'm only going to keep doing that. This is the first time I'd have ever gotten in the friend-zone though and it's very depressing to think about: it's as though your failure is always going to be there to remind you of itself.
Is it really worth it to even bother with girls?
Allthough at one point I had to do a lot of time in the "friend zone" myself, I don't think we should accept it as a real concrete phenomenon. "Friend zone" is a metaphore invented by disillusioned old-school romantics like me and some other guys that frequent this forum, trying to make some sense and to ascribe at least some basic definition to "!@#$%^&*() WTF just happened with that biatch?".
"Friend zone" is perhaps like space and should be approached with the same Einsteinian relativism. Space only exist by the mere existence of matter, there is no such thing as void outside of known space, because outside of known space the mere concept of existence doesn't apply. As soon as anyone or anything would "enter" the non existing void, or rather exit known space, known space would simply expand by virtue of that person of that object being there. Likewise "friend zone" only exist when you start thinking you're there.
The above may sound silly, but the way in which you regard matters are determining for the way you approach them and the attitude you take. Rather than worrying about how to not get stuck in the "friend zone" or how to get out of it, disregard it and consider your actions accordingly.
Regarding your final question:.. no, not really. The only reason to do so is when you realize too late and you're already to far to just let it go, other than that it is more of a pain in the ass. With all past loves and present love in the "doomed zone", I still do have some quite close female friends. Actually that suits me just fine. We go out on days, without me being saddled up with a pile o'crap the next day or so. Sure, they might need help as a friend occasionally, in which case I'll be there as a friend, but I aint taking no more shit.

Nah,.. we have Africa for that. They breed even faster than they commit fratercide.

For the most part they're going to somewhat fail like that. If it makes you feel any better, I've spent a while catching up with one of my classmates from elementary. I've since moved across the country. We get along real nice like, she looks great and enjoys talking to me as well. She's going to my second choice school. She's more compatible with me than any other girl I've ever met, but I can't do shit about it because she's 1600 miles away.
In Soviet Russia, girl drives to you!
Seriously though, I wish my girl lived that close. We might not be stuck in the "doomed zone".
