This is a pretty interesting topic with many thoughts behind it, so here are mine...
First off, no matter what your mom tells you, 'sweet' guys do not often get laid, and when they do its generally in spite of themselves, not because they went about things in a +EV manner.
But as to your main question, before getting into the 'friend zone' I say just try to avoid it completely. Now this aspect doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be a douche bag. It can work, but it is not needed if that's not in your personality. On the other hand, you can't simply be a nice guy for her to rest her shoulder on. There has to be some aspect of cocky, confident, non-needy that you should display in order to play your cards right.
I'm sure that we have all met this kind of guy in our musings about school. Yes, it may come off like he is a dbag, but then you open your eyes and realize that he has both men and women around him, gravitating to his conversation and presence. He jokes around with women, doesn't take serious crap from men, and lets the minor stuff roll off his back. He isn't being mean or an 'azzhole' in the typical dbag fashion, but you can tell that he doesn't exactly have a halo around his head, trying to please everyone. That is what attracts women the most, especially if you are looking to a girl as a potential gf/significant other. Also, this works too even if you are just looking to get laid, but a little more sexual escalation has to go along with that.
Finally though, once you are in the 'friend zone' I truly believe that the only way out is to be more or less a dbag, and this may or may not work. First impressions are critical when meeting anyone, and you don't want yours to be the 'nice guy' who she can 'talk' to, when you are really looking to get into her pants. Yea, it sucks, but it's generally true.
