sideline friend

A friend that is well liked by friends but doesn't get asked to hangout or get invited to things and is left on the "sidelines"

She says she likes me but never wants to hangout with me, I feel like a sideline friend.

Sideline Friend

You're the friend that can never make it to events and you often watch your best friends fall in love leaving you for a third wheel position. Then when they break-up, you're caught in the middle of friendships usually making you chose a friend over the other. You've lost a majority of your friends because they either moved or you lost contact with them. You're actually lonely although you have plenty of friends. You're not really open and you fear to lose your best friends or you don't want to get close and then lose them. So now you just watch from the sideline as sort of a cheerleader. You're close enough to be supportive and far enough to watch everything being played out and find your position among your friends. In all honesty, you want the hugs, hangout days, birthday parties, and movies days. But you don't want to deal with the emotions of losing them either to death or a break-off. You don't like taking risks in relationships which most likely is the reason you're single. A lot of girls/guys like you and you even have one person desperately wanting to be with you. But from you first Crush/Relationship you learned a hard lesson of following your head and not your heart. So From the sidelines, you will watch until the opportunity comes, as the Cheerleader.

I love my best friends but I can never make it to their performances. I hate being one the sidelines but ig I gotta stay.

Her and zack are back together now, time to get new friends I guess.#Sideline Friend
Okay...they both told me the problems they had with each other and how bad it is to be friends with them. #Sideline Friend
