Acquaintance Zone

Staying in the acquaintance zone as you know that you're not worthy enough to be friends.

"So you like becky?"
"Nah she kinda put me in the acquaintance zone."

Acquaintance Zone

It's the friend zone of friendships. Unlike friend-zoning, which is when someone you want to be your lover says you should just be friends. Acquaintance zoning is when someone who you want to be friends with doesn't even want to be your friend. This can be way more degrading than friend-zoning, usually because being friend-zoned most of the time is because a person knows you more as a friend than a lover. But an Acquaintance Zone is when a person doesn't even want to get to know you and develop a relationship as friends, which can be way more degrading than rejecting a romantic relationship.

"Hey dude! What's up?"

"Could you stop messaging me, please? We are just acquaintances."

"So you just Acquaintance Zoned me?"

Polite Acquaintance Zone

The proper place to consider an ex-lover after a bad break up. Should not be confused with the friend zone.

After she got over her anger about our break up, Nancy wanted to remain friends. But I think it's a better idea to keep her in my polite acquaintance zone.

acquaintance zoned

Similar to being friend zoned, only far worse.

While being friend zoned can sometimes produce a friend, being acquaintance zoned produces nothing.

Josh: So how did asking out Sarah go?

Larry: Not well at all. No interest.

Josh: Friend zoned?

Larry: Worse. Acquaintance zoned.

aquaintance zone

Aquaintance zone is like friend zone only one step further and much more degrading.

"Thank you for carrying in the couch for me; you're such a great aquaintance!"
"Ooohhh! You just got aquaintance zoned!"

aquaintance zone

When a situation goes from, romances, bromances, friendzones to the nope zone. It's time to label it and call the time of death as Aquaintance Zone. It was already feeling weird, awkward, twighlight zone-ish. Now things aren't what either of you wanted and you may be in the grey area, so this helps you decide to phase it out in a friendly way. You taper off, slowly. It's better than ghosting. Ghosting is harsh and it is for that last resort for cutting ties completely.

Person: I thought we were friends and this was going somewhere?
You: Well, honestly we were in the friendzone, but now we're definitely in the Aquaintance Zone. Have a good one.

acquaintancezone

Where you relegate people whose uninteresting posts clog up your social media feeds because they're in your "friends" circle.

"After about her 20th post this week bragging about her workout routine and the different health shakes she's trying, I had to put her in the acquaintancezone."
