Friend Zone 

A place where Aphrodite condemns the souls of people with dating double-standards.
Bob: "I can't believe Ashley (skinny, popular girl) put me in the Friend Zone! I was nice to her all this time, and she still says we're just 'friends!' But friendship is what a a romantic relationship is built on!"

Kaylee (overweight, average-looking girl): "Well Bob, you and me are friends too, and I'm single."

Bob: I... uh... erm..... but I don't wanna ruin our friendship Kaylee.

Friendzoni 

The figurative dish you get served by someone who you may like, have a crush on, etc., but they only see you as a friend.
"I've had a crush on her for months; today she told me I'm a really good friend."

"Damn man...she served you a bowl of Friendzoni."

Friend Zone Quarterback 

A guy that is stuck in the friend zone yet is still always making passes at his female friends but never getting sacked or sending it to the endzone.

A best friend of the opposite sex that has no chance of ever dating you but continues to tell you how much they are in love with you. This gets especially worse with intoxication, making for akward nights and in extreme cases, drunken proposals adn future wedding promises.
Sarah is looking good. She is no longer playing friend zone quarterback with Josh after losing all that wright this summer at fat camp. I saw him totally checking her out.

Friend Zone 

A term many guys (and some girls) use when they have been rejected, whether it is straight out or inadvertently said. People tend to claim it is the other person's fault and/or that they are a "friendzoning bitch" despite the fact that the person may really only like them as a friend, which is a false move seeing as that person believes they should fake feelings and be in a relationship.
Girl1: Thanks, you're a great friend!
Guy1: Did you seriously just friend zone me?
Girl1: Excuse me?

Guy2: Will you go out with me?
Girl2: I'm sorry. I just don't like you in that way, you're a friend.
Guy2: Not anymore, bitch. I'm the nice guy unlike the jerks you date.
Girl2: Excuse me?

Guy3: So Susie totally friendzoned me today.
Guy4: Aw, that sucks, man.

Friendzoned 

When someone of the opposite sex does not find you appealing enough to be in a relationship, so they instead prefer to be "just friends". This is called the friendzone, probably because you're too good to be not friends, but not good enough to be in a relationship. You're in that "zone". Getting friendzoned is the act of getting rejected for a date by the person you felt love for, and for them to then suggest a general friendship. You shouldn't use the word seriously, it makes you sound needy. Use it as a joke.
Person 1: I've known Britney for awhile, im going to go ask her out.

Person 2: well then, prepare to get friendzoned!

friend zone syndrome 

An affliction where a patient uses "friend zone" unironically.
The patient sees friendships with people of sexual appeal as a failure.

In fact, this is actually a symptom of a number of other hidden problems (failure to meet new people regularly, failure to negotiate sexuality in an upfront way, failure to enjoy the sorts of people one is interested in sleeping with, and so on)
A: "Someone I know isn't giving me sex. I mean, I haven't been upfront, because I fear even polite rejection... But the only thing I want from them is sex, and they're the only person I am going to meet this year. Please, help me get out of the friend zone!"

B: "That's your problem: you've got friend zone syndrome."
