Your posts are really hard to read. Please learn how to punctuate.

You are "best friends" with this girl and "wouldn't mind her being with somebody," but you get jealous and mad when she actually does, and you're considering not being friends anymore because she doesn't want to have sex with you. Is that what "best friends" means to you? Is that even a plain old "friend"?

So true.

My point was that the person who is placing the other person in friend zone usually has motives as well.
Yes there are many reasons why someone would "place" you there. Some I can think of: they actually like you but don't see a relationship with you due to lack of chemistry or they can't see you fitting in with their family and friends or they like you and think they might want to date you but want to take it very slowly. Or if they have dated you, they're trying to slow it way down.

Oh and I might add that I was married for 23 years to a man that had been my friend for 7 years before we started dating. We met at 17 and hung out a lot. I never knew that he had romantic interest in me until he told me when we were 24.

That's friendzone level 9000. Next thing you know, she'll be throwing her bra in with your laundry

Generally speaking, male-female friendship without sex isn't a great idea. There's very little benefit in it. So yes, the friend zone is wack.

I don't understand the whole friendzone thing. Seems to come from people who can't handle being rejected and want to blame someone else for their bruised ego.

If a woman doesn't return your feelings she must just want to keep you around to make herself feel good, right? God forbid she just really like having you as a friend. Is your opinion of yourself so low that you can't believe you're good company?

Some of my best friendships have come from guys who initially expressed interest in me. Weird how maturity works that way.
I now understand where men are coming from. Because they don't value women they don't find attractive romantically and sexually(excluding their mom and other blood relatives), they assume women are the same. Like they think the only reason a women would want a man around is for ego boost or sex. It is really weird, and helps me understand this male concept(women use it too, but it is rarely used by women) of the "friend-zone."

And if so should I be upfront and tell her why I'm leaving or just dip?
You have to play the game, man.

Generally, I've found that the majority of the time when I'm rejected, it's because I didn't approach the situation correctly.

Her response will change once you change your behavior.

I recommend cutting off contact with her completely. I'd be willing to bet that she'll contact you seemingly out of the blue a few months after you do that.
