Friendboxed

The process of being stuck in the friendbox. It tends to happen if you are single and have an attractive friend who is also single. You end up falling for them, loving them with all your heart, but they don't love you in return, and just want to be friends. The relationship will never progress beyond friendship, even though it kills you. When this happens, then you have been friendboxed.

Being confined to the friendbox leaves you unable to move on, get over them, or want to have a relationship with anyone else.

"Friendboxed" really ought to be available as a Facebook relationship status. It is a far more accurate description than "Single" for a lot of people.

Me and her are friendboxed.

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!

friendzoned 

When a member of the opposite sex (usually one you want to hook up with) declares you to be "just a friend", thereby ruining all potential chances of sex.

Noj: Dude, I met this really hot chick and I was gonna hook up with her...until I got friendzoned!

Eiddam: Aw damn man! that sucks ass!

gay friendzoned

When you're gay and you really like some guy (and you're not sure of his sexual orientation) and you end up being BFFs. You take the leap of faith and tell him and you get completely dumped. Worse than the friendzone because you don't just have zero chance, you have negative chance.

Person:
Man, you hook up with that ambiguous-orientation boy you like yet?

Other Person:
Naw, I got gay friendzoned. I really thought he would be into me, we were such good friends.

Friendzoned 

You're an average guy, nice, intelligent, funny, with great wit, you care about other people, whether they are strangers, friends or lovers. You try not to behave like a self-centered idiot and the last thing you would ever do is hurting a woman.

Do you match those criteria? Well if you do, you'll soon learn the definition of this word! Your crush will date a lousy self-centered prick and you'll have the honor to be the support shoulder when she realizes how bad he treats her and complains about how awful her life is, wondering why every guy she dates turns out to be a complete moron.

Getting friendzoned:
Her: "how you're such a sweetie you're nice and caring, you support me in my most difficult moments, but you know you're like a brother to me there's nooo way we can be more than friends but for me that's more important than lovers! <3"
You: ...

Guessing what your role will be as a friendzoned guy:
Her: "wow OMG I've met a really nice guy he got such an amazing car and he's sooo good-looking chiseled muscles and all he's swag plus he seems to reeaaally like me! <3"
You: ... ... ...
