Forget the eyelid, forget everything else. The crux of the issue is in this statement here:

If you want a deeper, more meaningful relationship with a woman, never under any circumstances try to be her "friend" lest you end up in the purgatory of the Friend Zone (FZ), a domain from which there is no escape.
Some people - women mostly - don't think that there's such a thing as the friend zone. Some believe that by becoming "friends first" with a potential partner, that solidifies the possibilities of a stronger relationship.
They're wrong on both counts.
The friend zone is like gravity: It makes no difference whether you believe it or not, if you jump out of a building you're gonna hit the ground no matter what your beliefs are. Same with FZ. As soon as you're in the FZ, it doesn't matter if you believe in it or not. Any chance of a more meaningful relationship is gone.
But you don't have to believe me. Check out the following:

I won't bore you with the details here of how to avoid being FZed - there are lots of details in the above articles - but the details are relatively unimportant. What's important is that you just avoid it, like you'd avoid stepping on broken glass or flaming wood.
