Then is it impossible for a man and woman just go out for dinner, chatting, but not having sex?

It's possible to go out have a nice time and NO sex … but society will always treat you like a couple or like persons with a sexual relationship. 

 And that's the real problem. As long as none of the friends has a partner it is possible. As soon as one of them has a partner the relationship between the both friends will suffer. 

 In most of all cases I think ;)

 A few people are tolerant enough to accept that there partner has a very good friend of an opposite sex.

I have the feeling that if you two have arrived at the friends zone, then it's impossible for both of you to become lovers.

Like that TV series "Friends", you know, Ross and Rachel. At the beginning, Rachel looked Ross as one of her friends, then it's hard for her to accept Ross as her boyfriend.

Is it true?

Well… That's a good question. You know, when I was younger I had a friend, His name is Leonardo. We were very, very close, and we felt comfortable to talk about anything with each other. Our friendship was very strong, and we were together all the time but unfortunately he got confused and started to love me not only as friend but also as a woman. He wanted to date me but I didn't think it was the right thing to do, I saw him as a brother that I didn't have. He felt really disappointed and we parted. Of course I suffered a little bit, he was my best friend! But I couldn't go on a relationship like that! Some time later we talked and we decided to keep on being good friends but many things have changed from that time on.

 I really thought we could be just friends, but I was wrong :(

Of cause, I believev man and woman have real friendship.
But I think both of them should know the base line—just friend.
I have a very good female friend. I treat she as my sister. And she treat me as her brother. We start this relationship more than 10 years ago.
