While what you describe is a possible form of friend zoning I don't actually believe that this is the sort of behaviour that the OP was referring to based on his responses in the first 2 pages. Specifically where he said "So you don't feel guilty about rejecting people?"
The only strict requirement for a situation to be classified as "friendzoned" is where one party wants a platonic friendship and the other wants a romantic/sexual relationship. While active deception and manipulation can happen, it isn't mandatory. It really depends on the situation and how the individuals handle it.
