The Friendzone 

(Noun) This is a metaphorical hell for men. It is typically initiated by a guy asking out a girl and her saying "Oh, I only see you as a friend.".
One common example of this is girls will reject a nice guy, and date douche-bags, all while complaining to the nice guy and saying things like "Why can't all guys be like you?".
Again, this is only a stereotype.

It is possible to escape the friendzone, but it is not easy. It is a long and difficult road.

Poor George, he was put in the friendzone by that girl he really liked.

The Friendzone 

The Friendzone is a space known by nice guys and incels as a term they often use when rejected by the uninterested party (often a woman). Sometimes the uninterested party is scared of other. The uninterested party often uses the term let's be friends to signal that they are uncomfortable around the party trying to get with them.

Nice guys and incels often use this term when they are upset at the uninterested party for "not giving them a chance"

Nice guy: Date me! Now!
Woman: Err, sorry, lets just be friends
Nice guy, later: How dare she put me into the friendzone! Don't she know how good of a person I am!? Of course she's going to go for the guy that abuses her!

(noun) the act of removing a person from the "friend-zone" in recognition of his/her possible relationship value. This is the transfer of "just friends"-people who are excluded from emotional and sexual interest, despite personality and physical attractiveness- into the status of "possibilities", or potential partners.

The friend zone 

When a girl decides that you're her friend, you're no longer a dating option. You become this complete non-sexual entity in her eyes, like her brother, or a lamp.

Friend1: Are you still with that girl?
You: We're just friends.
Friend2: A moment of silence for our brother in the friend zone.

The Friend Zone 

What is quite possibly one of the worst places a guy could ever be in if you like someone. It doesn't matter the situation, once you're in, you feel like you're in a cage.

It consists of a multitude of possible emotions that you will succumb to. Mostly jealousy, defeat, hopelessness and a strange sense of knowing that your aspirations are an impossibility. You'll constantly know that the person you like will not like you in the same way. But for some reason, you're still friends with her. You feel like you can get her back, but it's not gonna happen.

And it's worse when they tell you about their significant other/crush/boyfriend. You might see them walk further away from you every day. You become a cushion, having to watch them with the person they THINK is perfect for them. But deep down, you know it's not true. But they think they are, and you have to acknowledge it as a reality.

It's hell on earth, guys.

I'm in the friend zone. An ever-so confining area of regret, jealousy and defeat. I won't be able to get her.
