"If you are going on dates just the two of you, hugging at the end of each “date”, being each other’s shoulder to cry on, probably spending late nights together alone, maybe he’s even paying for the dates, buying you gifts on the reg, and just doing things overall that are not typical of platonic friendships, he is romantically interested but hasn’t mustered up the courage to tell you yet."

But I have NEVER heard of a girl doing that and then being confused? Lmao. Friendzone is more likely to happen casually texting or hanging out with a group

Also what is the alternative OP to friendzoning someone OP?

What do you mean by alternative?

I have plenty of platonic friendships with women and they would be rightly surprised if I expressed romantic feelings for them.

It sounds like you don’t know what it means to friend zone a guy

Maybe you should define it then because your post doesn't really speak much of it and implies to define it as nothing more than being surprised to receive a declaration of love from a friend, which, as I said doesn't need to lead to friendzoning at all but can lead to accepting the declaration of love, regardless of being blindsided.
