preemptive friend zone

Guy 1: Ashley has so many guy friends.
Guy 2: That's because she always make friends with them before they can ask her out.

Nice guys make up a disproportionate amount of preemptive friend zonees

Facebook friend zone

When you add/are added by a person of the opposite sex on Facebook, and it leads to you developing a platonic friendship instead of the originally-intended relationship

I added Kristie on Facebook to get to know her and ask her out, but it isn't working out. Now I'm in the Facebook friend zone.
