A very frustrating and very shitty place to be. More commonly experienced by men than women. Mostly becuase of the fact that men are comfortable with being in a relationship/fucking a friend, where women will piss and moan about not wanting to ruin a frendship, somehow overlooking the fact that guys already have friends, and so do they. Stupid bitches.

No Man's Land. The place a wuss finds himself when he attempts to get into a girl's pants by placing them on a pedestal. Ironically, this actually repulses the girl he is attempting to lay, and usually the girl finds him boring and just uses him for personal enjoyment.
I actually prefer the GF to have a guy in her friend zone. After I'm done banging her, she can go talk to him about how I don't care about her feelings, because I don't give a fuck.

The Friend Zone is the name of the realm that one is banished to when they confess their feelings to the person that they like, only for them to respond with, "I think we should be friends." It is very hard to escape this realm, but not impossible.

A word used by the more pathetic guys that think girls are sex-vending machines. These guys typically think in terms of:
nice comments + good deeds + girl = sex
The term is used when they fail to get a girlfriend and think of having that said girl as a friend a "mission failure".

Jack: Aw man, I just got friend zoned by Lisa after all that hard work I put into being nice to her.
John: I heard "hurr durr, I keep putting niceness into this vending machine but no sex is coming out!". Seriously.

The state of being denied relationship status because the other considers you a "Friend they don't want to lose". This more commonly affects men, as women get too into the friendship to consider the other in a sexual or romantic way. Men are more likely to stick it out and try and get into her pants and/or heart. Most women do it unconsciously, they like the person so much they don't want risk losing the friendship. They would also say they don't want to lose the friend as an attempt to soften the rejection.
James: "Hey I really like you, so do you want to go see a movie or something."
Mary: "I would really like that, except you're such a good friend that I can't think of you like that."
James: 'Inside of his head' "Damn, not the friend zone."
