friend zone

A place where no guy wants to be but always happens to end up there. The girl could've let you down because simply she doesn't like you or she likes you too much. Maybe you are too special and she doesn't want to let you go, she doesn't want to lose a friendship because what if one day you break up? Don't stop trying bud.
Guy- She said she loved me though.
Dude- Then why is she dating that douche? He's such a jerk.
Guy-I don't know man
Dude-You're deep in the friend zone my friend.

friend zone

The state of a relationship between a girl and the guy who is perfect for her in every single way and who would most definitely make her the happiest woman on Earth but only gets to be friends with her because she only goes for guys with abs or rich dads. Yeah... Girls can be air-headed bitches.
Guy 1: Did you actually write down everything she ever said looks nice or wanted since the day you met her and got her everything you can afford from that list on her birthday.

Guy 2: Yes totally broke lol but it was worth it you should've seen how she smiled when she saw what i did.

Guy 1: you totally got out of the friend zone didn't you

Guy 2: she told me how exciting it was to have sex with her boyfriend in her room with all the things i got her and how they made her feel safe.

Guy 1: The Guy never called her again tho

Guy 2: So she's single ? great go for it man

Guy 1: I think she likes the guys' rich gym friend now

Guy 2: dude kill yourself seriously that's the only way your getting out of the friend zone .

Friend Zone

the space/pause between boy friend and girl friend is the friend "zone"; classifying you only as a friend that is a guy or a friend that is a girl, nothing more.
Friend 1 : omg you and Bob act like y'all dating
Friend 2: NAHHHHHH, he's just my boy_friend.
Friend 1: ouch you friend zoned him

Friend Zone

When a man attempts to get a girlfriend (or boyfriend) by first being their friend, then hoping to transition that to being their boyfriend. After they've been their friend for a while with no sexual tension being built up, he asks her out, with her saying something along the lines of "I don't think of you that way and I don't want to jeopardize what we have."
The people who've experienced this are almost-exclusively men who don't have many social skills, especially with romance. Many of them have had few (if any) sexual partners, very little self-esteem, not much confidence, a lot of anxiety, and possibly some minor depression (if not severe), which is WHY they have so few social skills.
It's only made worse by the fact that a LOT of women who say "a guy said I friend-zoned him" don't really try to HELP him. Saying you're not interested is one thing, but GENUINELY trying to understand why he's so hurt by that and figuring out ways to help him get a girlfriend is another.

The unspoken aspect of this is that this usually occurs when a modest-looking man tries to attract a more-attractive woman using their personality, since they wouldn't be able to if they just used their looks.
To be fair, women DO put higher importance on personality than men do, and it usually DOES overpower looks in importance, so there's nothing wrong with a guy trying to get a more-attractive woman using his personality, but application of that is very complex.
Joshua: "Is that *band shirt/book/food/anything like that*? *Band/book/food/whatever's being referenced* is amazing! I love *band/book/food/etc.*!"
Emmi: "I know, right? You're the first person I've seen get so animated about it!"

***Joshua hasn't said anything that would make Emmi think he finds her attractive-- like being specific about something he likes about her face or body or saying how cute she is in a clever way, or even saying outright that she's sexy-- and hasn't for months.***

Joshua: "So, Ems... I know you've been talking a lot about how lonely you've been over the last few months and how bored you are on the weekends now cuz' you've got nothing to do, so would you like to go on a date with me this Saturday?"
Emmi: "Oooh... Wow... Josh, look, I love you and your one of my besties, and I mean we have so much in common, but I just... I really don't think I can do that. I'm sorry. I don't think that would be a good idea."
Joshua: "... Did you just fucking friend zone me?"
