For the girls... Avoiding the "Friend zone"

i think you should just let things flow, but keep showing her your interest (that doesn't mean you have to start asking her out non-stop, or that you have to flood her house with flowers, just keep talking to her and if you already talk on the phone, keep calling her (with moderation),etc.). just spend time with her and get to know her, and show her that you care and that she can trust you, and always respect her.
and wait, be patient, because she might want to get to know you better, before she decides if she wants to date you or not, which in that case, it's really good that you're friends first.

i think it is normal for girls to wait, at least normal for sensible girls to wait. just wait. Don't worry, if she likes you, then, you're in no danger of "falling into the friend zone"... being friends will only make the situation better and strengthen your relationship. Try talking about profound things (if you don't already) and not just superficial conversations or small talk.
this will help you two realize if you have different views or compatible views or maybe different and compatible views about important issues.

now it's another story if she`s not interested in you, but that would be a different problem.

These are very wise words!

I'm all in favor of relationships starting out as friendships. Why would we not want to have that solid foundation of friendship with someone so important?

A friendship can turn into a relationship but only if one friend has not already rejected the other. If that has happened then you are out of luck no matter how many boldfaced liars tell you otherwise.
