When the person from the opposite (or same) sex rejects you're proposol of getting into a relationship with them, but still wants to be friends with you, most people hate being friendzoned, because THEY THINK the person they want to get into a relationship with will probably choose a good for nothing man/woman over them, don't think like this, the person who friendzoned you probably won't go in a relationship with you is probably not because the like somebody else, maybe they are asexual, or can't date you because they're parents forbid it, just because someone doesn't want to date you, doesn't mean that they like someone else, and a lot of people forget.
Good example of dealing with a friend zone:
Kyle: Hi Sarah, i have meaning to tell you this, but i had a crush on you since elementary school, and being friends for so long, i wanna tell you that i love you and i wanna get into a relationship with you.
Sarah: wow Kyle, i never thought you liked me like that, but i'm not ready for a relationship, but i still want to be friends!
Kyle: that's ok, even if you don't feel the same way, i don't wanna make a big fuss about it, i really don't want this friendship to end, come, let's go get some ice cream.

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 2: NAHHHHHH, he's just my boy_friend.
Friend 1: ouch you friend zoned him

A term used to stigmatize women for not having reciprocate feelings towards someone who is "into them". It is intended to make females feel bad for not liking someone in a romantic/sexual way.
This girl just left me in the Friend Zone. What a tight ass she is for not being attracted to each and every male human being she knows. And she DARES to think it is fine for us to only be friends? I can't believe I've been nice to her all this time and she isn't even gonna sleep with me.
