Why stay in the friend zone? I just don't get it.

OK so I have a friend and she has been hurt so many times but yet she comes to me and saying, I'm the best friend as I listen, I told her that I would date her, but she said "No. She just likes me as a friend." It's much easier to walk away and have no friends at all but that would make me selfish, but I am tired of this, keeps hurting because of her boyfriends, when it's good she leaves me alone, when it's bad she can't leave me alone. I just feel used and it hurts me.

Well you proposed dating, she said no, so she is not interested in you that way, which is fine, except that you want more. I would figure out if the friendship is worth it for you, or if it is just going to hurt. This all said, if she is not as active of a friend when she has a boyfriend, but comes around when she does not, then I am not sure how good of a friend she is.
