The self-inflicted limbo that man-babies complain endlessly about, when a woman they know fails to realize that she's somehow obligated to provide a romantic or sexual relationship to any man who is interested and claims to be her friend, simply because he wants it. Used by the same type of guys who claim to be "nice" yet call women used up sluts for having sex with men they're actually attracted to. Men who can't fathom being actual "friends" with a woman they find attractive if they can't act on that attraction - due to them thinking exclusively with their dicks and only seeing women as sex objects. If any man uses this term unironically, just run, because they have no real interest in you as an actual human being and will never be a real friend to you, and in fact are highly likely to go berserk on you at some point because they aren't getting what they want.
Friendzoned - "I can't believe that I've wasted 2 years of my life pretending to give a shit about a chick who won't even give me the sex I deserve! I pretended to listen to her problems and enjoy hanging out with her without her getting naked for me even ONCE, and this is how she repays me? Screw that bitch, I'm tired of being stuck in the Friendzone"!

The absolute horror of having to be friends of someone of the opposite sex instead of having sex with them.
People who use this are in no way patheic losers who only see people of the opposite sex for their value and use to them, to the point where unless that person sees them romantically and sexually attractive, they are useless to them.

Person A: Ugh, Tiffany put me in the friendzone.
Person B: Thats Ok. She seems like a genuinely interesting and fun person.
Person A: But she won't have sex with me.
Person B: But doesn't she have more value than that? Shes an actual human being. Why is it so horrible that she wants to be friends?
Person A: Because since I want to have sex with her, she cant possibly have any value to me outside of that. People can't possibly have relationships just because you like a fellow human being and have respect for them.
Person B: Oh yeah you're right.

A psychological place in which you put yourself. When you behave like a friend with the person you like,because you dont have the courage to behave otherwise.

A term used to describe when someone of either sex suddenly gets cold feet or pulls out of a long relationship before making things official without warning. Usually when the other person has strong second thoughts; Sometimes due to social appeal, because of peer pressure, or because the other person has found attraction to someone else.
Historically/Culturally in certain cases; This can be due to stigma relating to the sudden discovery/or knowledge of victims birth or background and the societal pressures of cultural stigma. It can be due to social difference (popularity) and bullying (social hierarchy status).

Seems like she/he got friendzoned, not sure why.
They got friendzoned, wonder what happened, seemed to be going well before?
