So. Now that you've figured out that your in the friend zone you have to start changing your behavior. We all know what you want out of chicks, but the mystery lies in what chicks want out of guys. If you ask a bunch of chicks this question they'll give you a bunch of answers, and not one of them will say what they actually want. If you ask guys this question every single one will say EXACTLY what they want. That's the difference between the guys and girls.
In my experience, it boils down to this. Guys seek trim, girls seek attention. Attention is a chick's crack. They love it so much that they will never toss a guy aside as long as he's giving them attention. Even if they're not physically attracted to a dude, they'll keep on taking his attention. The dudes they are initially physically attracted to are the guys who don't give them attention. A dude that doesn't fawn over a chick is a mystery to her. Many chicks have a low self-esteem, they start thinking that something is wrong with themselves. (Maybe he thinks I'm too fat, skinny, pale, tan, bitchy, nerdy, or my chick junk is too big, small, lopsided, or whatever). Either way, they feel insecure that their chick magic doesn't work on you. So now you become a project, or a challenge to them, in which they seek to get your attention, even though they have a whole stable of guys that give them all the attention they want, they want what they can't have. Chicks, if anything, are completely illogical, so if you want to figure out how they think just remove logic.
You see, IMO, and I have no stats to back this up, a lot of guys are raised by their moms, or parents that teach them to treat girls with respect, and always be nice, and blah blah blah. You're parents were giving you good advice, for that time in your life AFTER YOU'RE GETTING LAID, but their advice sucks for that time in your life when you just want to get laid. I'm not telling you to be abusive or a complete a-hole, but I'm telling you to not be friends with chicks. There's no such thing as guy/girl friendship without sexual tension. Either you want to tap her but circumstances or lack of physical attraction lets you, or she wants to tap you but circumstances or lack of physical attracts lets her, or you've already tapped each other and are over it. Or someone's gay. Either way, it's pretty rare to find a guy/girl friendship without these things. Besides think about it. Why do you hang out with your guy friends? Because you like to surf/skate/play music/video games/drink/watch games/play sports/fix things/cars, etc. Guys rarely just want to call each other up and 'talk' on the phone. They grab a twelver and hang out. So you don't need chick 'friends'. It's contrived and forced. Most chicks don't hang like guys, that's why you have guy friends, and most guys don't have boobs and places to put things (and even if they did, you don't want anything to do with it - unless you roll that way - which is a different story entirely) and that's why you hang with chicks.
If you want to get laid, hanging around and being nice, hoping she'll 'discover' how cool you are is never going to happen. Or if it does, it's a very long hard road that often involves you sitting on the sidelines while she taps a multitude of guys along the way, at which point, by the time she's ready for you, you might not want anything to do with her, unless you're into producing porn. Hanging around while she taps dudes, and then when they break up or catch the dude tapping some other chick letting her vent on you will all her boo-hoo bull **** is generally no fun (hence this thread).
So what's the answer? QUANTITY!!!! Quantity over quality. Tap as many chicks as you can, because when you're young they're all hot, or often they are as hot as they're ever going to be, so tap everything that will let you. Don't worry about quality. You'll find it somewhere along the way, and it's going to be a lot more fun finding it this way, rather than moping around texting, talking, and 'hanging' out talking about her baggage. The way to do this is a ruthless numbers game. If you're not married, you owe no chick your allegiance or loyalty.
First off, be upfront and honest about that (chicks always think they can change that, and will often tap you in hopes they will gain your allegiance).
Second, don't take things personally. If a chick doesn't want to tap you, f it. No biggie. (This aloof attitude also drives them nuts). Tap her friends. If her first friend doesn't want to, go through them all until you find one that does, and tap her friends too.
Finally, control your attention. Give them a little, if they don't respond take it away completely. If you show interest in a chick and show her attention, and she doesn't respond, make her a ghost. Don't call her, don't respond to her texts, call her back, post on her facebook wall, respond to her posts. Give her nothing. Just disappear. This drives chicks nuts. She might not have liked you in the first place, but she might tap you just because she didn't like the way you removed your attention from her. She might call you all kinds of names. Take it as a compliment, and remember if she calls you an 'a-hole' that it's 'a-holes' not 'sweeties' or 'buddies'.
Chicks are tougher than they look. They like sting. This is why they often like their hair pulled and a well placed smack on the booty when you're tapping them. If you're soft, they're not going to be attracted to you. But if your words and actions sting, their interest is piqued. So next time a chick starts telling you about her guy crap, learn this phrase.
'I'm sorry. You must have mistaken me for someone who cares.' Go forth and get laid. Remember to wear a jimmy.
