Most of the friendzone is people not making their intentions clear. I agree with the “just friends” thing however. Just be careful you aren’t wanting more and stay in orbit around her. A lot of men do have the fear of approaching women so I’d suggest not downplaying its effects or reality. The 300 number is to put a higher limit before giving up. And people do actually give up far earlier than they should in many aspects of life, not just dating.
