When you are committed to being friends, it is in your best interests that it stays that way for as long as you get to be seeing or talking to each other. 'Graduation' from that is filled with a lot of uncertainties that may prove fatal at times.
Even if you have feelings for the other, it is hard to know what they have on their minds and assuming that they also have the same feelings, with regard to how they talk to you or treat you, is a fatality you do not want to venture into.
As such, getting out of the 'friend-zone' will accompany a lot of negatives. Here are some of the shortcomings.
1. Friendship may be ruined
If you have been great friends and then suddenly you decide to take it to the next level, the other one may not like the idea after you suggest it. They may then decide that the friendship ends or if it goes on, you may never be who you were before.
2. You will never be 'free' again
In the case, they try to love and it backfires, the downside is that, even if you continue with being friends, you will never be free as you used to be with each other. There will be that void between you that no one will be willing to step into.
3. Total separation and sometimes hate
Just because you had that 'thought' that you can be lovers, the other may elect to just hate you and not want to have anything to do with you. They will feel like you took advantage of the friendship or the way they were behaving towards you, it indeed seemed good
