an invisible one sided line used as an excuse and crutch by women to politely turn down someone for whom they don't have romantic feelings for. Friends cross this "line" by making known their romantic feelings to a friend with the friend not feeling the same way. It's been said that once this line is crossed it changes the friendship perhaps forever, effectively ending the friendship. It's one-sided because men have no such "line of friendship" and will often welcome a female friend respectfully making known her romantic interest. It's an excuse or crutch because the "line of friendship" doesn't exist if the girl is interested also. Women are usually uncomfortable once this "line" is crossed. Men frankly don't care and can let the relationship continue as normal but that seldom happens.
Yo answer your phone! Carl is calling again.
I can't answer that. He crossed the line of friendship last week. I don't want to give him false hope.
Girl, you know if that was James calling there wouldn't even be a line!

"Just a friend"; a term often used to describe someone of romantic interest who has yet to be referred to as "boyfriend" or "girlfriend" in public or even among close friends. Often, both parties have a shared romantic interest in each other and haven't told anyone yet. At other times, one of them may be stuck in the friend zone. The "just a..." part is a lame attempt to conceal this fact everyone else already knows. Otherwise, the term friend is used instead.
Jay-Z was jaf to Beyonce for years and now they are married!
I respect people's privacy but who were they fooling?

Yo, you still trying to get with that girl?
Nah, man. I'm not a windchaser. I gave up on her a long time ago after she said no and didn't leave it open.

The only successful way to get out of the friend zone. This passport is an invitation extended by a female to a male friend she's attracted to letting him know it's okay to cross the "line" (of friendship). She will somehow set the guy up to make the "first move" usually by heavy and often obvious flirting she may downplay if caught in public. Seldom will she be straightforward about her feelings but will drop enough clues for a guy to trip over. This passport is normally available for a limited time only. The longer the friendship lasts, the less likely a friend zone passport will be granted. Note that these passports must be granted, not applied for. If a guy puts in an "application" for a friend zone passport it's almost always denied and leads to a deportation to the estranged zone- a place worse than the friend zone, worse than being a complete stranger.
When are you going to finally ask Monica out?
Who knows? I'm still waiting for her to give me a friend zone passport. I'm such a "nice guy" and "good friend" and you know how that goes.
Wow! I hear jerks don't have to wait long for one.

To suddenly abandon the romantic pursuit of a chick especially after losing interest or realizing a romance with her won't go anywhere. It can happen during an initial conversation with a girl or after a few series of attempts to pick her up. It's so sudden, the girl is often surprised or even unaware that you lost interest in her and she may still play hard to get not realizing that the game is already over, leaving her stunned about what just happened. The sudden abandonment can be compared to the quickness of dropping a hot potato.
"Weren't you just talking to that chick a few days ago? What happened?"
"That was a few days ago. She was playing too hard to get. I had to drop a chick!"
"That was a few days ago. She was playing too hard to get. I had to drop a chick!"
