Have you ever been friendzoned?

[Donthaveausernameinmind]

I've been f* zoned, if that's a thing, several times. Where they 'suddenly' realised they didn't want to pursue anything further, however friendzoned I can't think of a time in recent years at all.
I previously did have male friends I spoke to a lot but sadly most of them ended up coming out with sleazy, inappropriate comments even though the majority were in relationships, and I realised their lack of respect for me.
I sadly don't have any close, straight male friends at present, I'm friendly with men but close ones, no, not through choice, just circumstances.
If you were close friends with a man but wanted more and they didn't, would you carry on as normal? Would it make things awkward? I'd be as nice as I could about it to them but I'd probably need a few weeks of distance to get over the crush, is that immature? Not ghost them forever, just some space.

An example of a false male 'friend" was someone in a relationship texting me at 2am to say that me being single was a 'waste' and an inappropriate comment about my body. Binned him off.

This example isn't being friendzoned? Friend zoning is when a romantic relationship seems on the cards but then they just see you as a mate, isn't it?

Yes sorry, I know that wasn't being friendzoned, it was just an example of what I thought was a good male friend but turned out to be a creep.

Isn’t it quite normal for this to happen?

There’s a guy I’d love to shag but sadly for me he seems happy with just friendly chatting at our hobby group. Got excited when he suggested we train together but, tragically, when we did it genuinely seemed like he actually was only interested in a training buddy. Gutted!
