Is this technically being friendzoned? Or gay-zoned or something?

im so sorry that happened. ☹

If you really love her, you’ll find a guy to go on the double date, just so you can be near her. This seems like a good sitcom plot.

how can you be best friends and she thought you were gay? best friends imply you know each other well.

You were too nice to her. You must be a jerk to be a straight man.

Tell her, "well I'll be the lucky guy if you decide to go with me"

I don’t want to be rude but, how dense is she?

Some people are friend-zoned and some people put themselves into the friend-zone when they really hope for more. I guess it can feel less risky to our egos to act like we’re “just a friend” when we really want more. But with maturity comes the realization that honesty and openness from the beginning is ultimately the best choice. Just don’t try to jump too quickly in the levels of a relationship - That can easily scare off the person we are interested in. Learn to read the signs that show how the other person thinks of you, that is a very important skill. You can lose by going too slow, apparently like OP in this case. And you can lose by going too fast and coming off like a crazy stalker.

why do people assume this stuff.
