Has anyone ever escaped the friend zone?
Have you ever escaped the friend zone?
If so how did you do it?
The girl I like said she sees me as a brother figure. So she put me in the friend zone. She knows how I feel about her.

Of course you can escape the friend zone. I don't hang out with a guy unless I am interested in dating him. The friend zone is just another way to get to know a person before dating them. But I understand that not everyone is like me and that some girls (not too many guys) will hang out with a person even if they have no intention of ever dating them.
If you've made your intentions clear and she's made her intentions clear than you should just wait it out. Just be there for her. You may have to have a lot of patients.
I put my a friend in the friend zone (even though I was attracted to him). I had him wait 18 months before we passed into the boyfriend zone.

I did it. Had a female roommate years ago. We were both dating other people at the time so we simply considered each other nothing more that friends (later we did admit to being attracted to each other). It really had more to do with timing than anything else. Just so happened we weren't dating anyone else about the time her father died. This crisis brought us together-she got to see another side of me. She came to me for help and advice and not long after that we became a couple. We had a somewhat amicable breakup about a year later. I was the one who initiated it though so I'm sure she'll always be a little bitter about it. For years after that we still got together as friends-usually for lunches to basically complain about each other's new love lives and to get advice. As the years went on we slowly lost contact. I still see her in the stores or in town and we can say "hello" and smile so I think we've crossed the friend line and gone back. Not perfect, not easy but it can be done. In all honesty though I believe we'd still be better friends now if we had never been a couple-but nothing we can do about that now.

One on my x-boyfriends and I were really good friends and he escaped the friend zone by telling me how he felt and after he said that I just kinda started to see him as more of the boyfriend type.

i did... for a little while...
we were friends for half a year, then i asked her out, she said yes.
we also kissed.
you need to stop being 'the guy who will be there for her always'
and be 'the guy who she would date'...
flirt more. dont be so nice. nice guys are boring. dont talk to her everyday. dont try to meet her often. then when you see her again, she'll how attractive you are and see you differently.
good luck. i know how much it sucks liking a girl who sees you 'just as a friend'

Flirt with her and show her a sexual side, not a brother side. If she seems weird about it, I think you're stuck and should move on.
