phone zoned

When a woman specifically expresses her disinterest in a potential suitor by incessantly playing with her phone. It is a passive form of rejection for a guy who will find his remaining dignity in the friend zone.

Tim thought he had an opportunity to smash with Madison but she phone zoned the hell out of him.

Parent-Zoned

A close/best friend that still loves you, but no longer needs you for support, entertainment, guidance, affection, etc., and gradually stops involving you in their life/seeking you out in the same way or for the same reasons.

They still love you and will still answer/respond at the same rate when you reach out to them, but will no longer contact you on their own unless it's a special occasion, an emergency, or they need something specific.

Much like how children and young adults stop wanting to spend time with their parents and would rather spend time with their friends instead.

Being parent-zoned means you've essentially been replaced as a friend but without any malice or loss of love / emotional importance.

He still treats me with a lot of love and respect and is always there when I need him, but he doesn't call or text nearly as much as he used to. His personal situation hasn't changed, guess I've just been parent-zoned.
