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."

Snide Face Syndrome

Snide Face Syndrome, or simply Snide Face, is an acute condition that occurs when meeting an acquaintance after a long period of absence and lack of contact.

SFS sets in at the point of reunion due to uncertainty of the status of the relationship. One, or both parties, may feel it is right to present a smile. The smile, however, is forced due to the uncertainty of the friendship and results in a contorted, snidey-looking face.

This facial contortion is uncontrollable and can be felt spreading up the face, causing great anxiety to the sufferer, and often lasts for the duration of the conversation.

Battered Wife Syndrome

A theory of multiple victimization using the "cycle of violence" and learned helplessness to explain the development of a psychological problem in women who are repeatedly abused by their husbands.

The person becomes depressed and unable to take any independent action that would allow him or her to escape the abuse.
I think he's suffering from Battered Wife Syndrome. He is a timid person, unable to think for himself and is tentative about making any decision for fear of being verbally or physically attacked.
