that's hilarious. did a lot of Dru Hill sessions when I was a kid too, not always for any real reason, def. couldn't relate to the dramatic scenarios they were laying out, but I can remember listening to He Can't Love You like that in 8th grade
there is no friend zone, not really. Depends on how good looking you are. Almost all these things, attraction is based on context, availability, and attraction. Now, no one should befriend someone with the intention of like tricking them into sleeping with you, but it happens naturally all the time.
also, the idea that friendship isn't a precursor to sex/relationship, is another bad narrative.
