When either a guy or a girl puts alot of time and energy into wanting to date someone but end up getting false hope and the common lines like "its complicated" or " i love you so much as a friend and i do not want to lose that bond" bottom line your just a friend. Usually that might make you feel like a gay confident and you will just suffer more while hanging around with the person you love. Often happens to nice guys who finish last.

Basically when you fail to really impress a girl you end up in this shit hole. Its not quite hell but its not near heaven, its basically limbo, basically put you've got a football star who gets both his knees shot out and thats your comparison, very similar to your dogs dead but you can keep it if you want. See "I dont like you like that" and "lets just be friends". Woman's way of making trolling. Yes I have been trolled.
Friend-zone examples:
Bob: Hey Casey want to go out? *braces for the friend-zone*
Casey: Bob I don't like you like that I'm sorry lets just be friends
Bob: sure.....
Bob: *thinking*: shit shit shit i'm getting the fuck out of this
------------------------------------
Bob: Yeah Casey friend-zoned me, definatly just wasted 4 weeks of my life and a good chunk of cash......
Tom: trolled!
Bob: Yeah....
Bob: Hey Casey want to go out? *braces for the friend-zone*

When a girl or guy texts, calls, or talks to you about another person of the opposite sex by which they imply to you that they know you like them and they do not have the same, mutual feelings. Therefore making you "just friends."

The shittiest place to be when trying to start a relationship with someone you like. The friend zone is worse then being told no because it is like putting a carrot on a stick in front of a Horse, and watching it chase after the carrot with no success, leading you on forever and fuckin ever.
Tommy: Hey, what do you think about you and me?
Caitlin: Sorry Tom, I think we're just friends.
Tommy: Friend zone, just Dandy...
Caitlin: Sorry Tom, I think we're just friends.
Tommy: Friend zone, just Dandy...
