So there's the idea that a guy has to make a move before the girl puts him in the friend catagory. That sounds like PUA stuff to me, of the not so good kind. If a girl is interested and the guy doesn't make a move, she might just be in the same boat - wondering when he's going to ask her or trying to figure out how to ask him. So the two are just being friends until such time as either of them speak up. Also, once two find each other and are intersted to be romantic or whatever you call it, a friendship is like a foundation. It's not like lovers aren't also friends in the best sense.
