Brother-zoned?

Not sure but I think I'm brother-zoned. I knew I was atleast friendzoned which a guy can get out of but damn. I guess I'll play it by ear.  I might start looking for another girl if I feel I'm too far in. We'll still be friends and stuff but I'll just be trying to find someone else to potentially date. She's still my first choice but if I'm brother-zoned then I have zero chance. Of course I guess there is no real chance of us ever dating. With the distance and I guess the age difference not to mention I am jobless it would be too difficult. Fuck why do I feel this way?
