I believe the reason the term came about is because girls who feel guilty they don't like their male friend often say stuff like "oh you're like a brother to me - I could never see you like that now" As if they would have liked them if the friendship hadn't developed.

The reason they feel guilty in the first place is because they knowingly flirt and lead the guy on at the beginning so he'll pay more attention to them.

The reverse of this is when a guy has sex with a girl he doesn't want to go out with. When the girl tells him she wants more you get the guy making up silly lines like "its not you its me" - again like the friendzone girl above he knew from the start he had no romantic interest in her. Just wanted an easy lay like the girl wanted a male friend who gives her the attention she craves.
