How to not put into the friend zone

I have to say that it never got me in any serious relationship yet, but for me a relationship should mostly be based on enjoying each others company and sharing interests. Because this is what you'll mostly be doing for the next 50 to 60 years if things work out well for you. If that relationship can expand into romantic and sexual things, well that's great.
But starting primarily on sexual attraction? That doesn't sound like a good foundation for a lasting relationship for me. Might work for some people to be out on a date every weekend, but that's just not the way I want to live my life. One friend just said that your lover also has to be your very best friend.

So my thought is, that establishing a solid friendship does not have to be an end to any romantic options, but can be a good stepping stone in that direction. Might not work for everyone, though.
