Chaps need a bit of help on this one, the other night I was out clubbing with some friends of mine and one of my friends brought out an HB9.

Immediately after I meet her, I start gaming at first talking about common friends of ours other such generalities etc(i obviously throw a few negs in there) Very strong IOIs, legs leaning into me crossed at the knees, playing with her hair in my face, telling me she is single and i got a general vibe of interest. So i run a routine or two as well and lets just say she was there for the taking, but I pussied out mainly because I was there with common friends. Later on, she seemed less interested and more interested in having a good time with her friends.

So the question i ask is this, is there danger of LJBF zone because i didn't escalate? and two next time i see this girl what should i do?

i read from a female PUA couch. She wrote that if you could indicate to her that you are physically attracted to her, and you did not make any move, then you become the "bad boy". In which case, she would try to PU you.

Well I don't doubt that but the average woman craves interest. If she puts her bait out there and you don't at least make some attempt to let her know that you are sexually interested she will usually keep it moving. I had to learn that the hard way.
Basically the key to understanding LJBF is to understand what LJBF is. Basically a female's friend is just a guy that she hangs out with has a relationship with but no sexual contact. That's the only difference. if you don't imply some sexual contact there won't be any. Simple as that. and the deeper you get into the Friend Zone the harder it is to get out.

She definately sees me as a bit of a badboy, but i don't wanna leave anything to her just in case.

The advice has been sound so far, but what would you do next time you see her? Initiate kino straight away? ie. big hug when i see her, or peck on the both cheeks, etc

no advice on how to get this done next time i see her?

it all depends on how deep you are in the friend zone. If you're in too deep any escalation in sexual contact will seem odd. but if you arent then it should work. Honestly though in these sort of situations I suggest push/pull. Pay her attention but don't pay her any attention. Pay attention to your body language...talk to her over the shoulder...or from the side. Make her work for your attention, but when she earned it make sure you give it to her. it sounds counter-productive but I guarantee she will be kino escalating you.
