Penpalzone

Friendzone: "A state of being where a male inadvertently becomes a 'platonic friend' of an attractive female whom he was trying to intitate a romantic relationship."

The penpalzone is an even crueler fate. Not only does your would-be-significant-other consign you to a sad asexual existence, they also block any meetings in person to prevent any non platonic scenarios from arising, while still maintaining a "relationship" through texting or any other non-face to face communication.
If you're in the friendzone, don't complain about it or you may be relegated to the penpalzone. A life of loneliness and depression awaits you.
