a particularly aggravating metaphorical place, that people end up in when someone they are interested in only wants to be friends. it is impossible to get over someone while in the friendzone, because, as friends, you still see them too often for them to be erased from your memory, and yet, you cannot be with them the way you want.
person 1: hypothetically, how would you react if i told you i like you?
person 2: i’m sorry, i don’t mean to hurt you, but i want to just be friends.
person 1 is now in the friendzone.
a term many guys (and some girls) use when they have been rejected, whether it is straight out or inadvertently said. people tend to claim it is the other person’s fault and/or that they are a “friendzoning b-tch” despite the fact that the person may really only like them as a friend, which is a false move seeing as that person believes they should fake feelings and be in a relationship.
girl1: thanks, you’re a great friend!
guy1: did you seriously just friend zone me?
girl1: excuse me?

guy2: will you go out with me?
girl2: i’m sorry. i just don’t like you in that way, you’re a friend.
guy2: not anymore, b-tch. i’m the nice guy unlike the jerks you date.
girl2: excuse me?

guy3: so susie totally friendzoned me today.
guy4: aw, that sucks, man.
when someone rejects another when asked out. many friend-zoned people suffer from extreme b-tthurt over being friend-zoned, so cold and bitter definitions are posted on dictionary sites like this one. they also don’t seem to understand that a man/woman has the right to reject someone if they see them only as a friend.
man, she put me in the friend zone! better angrily vlog about how she practiced her own free will.
what you attain after you fail to impress a woman you’re attracted to. usually initiated by the woman saying, “you’re such a good friend”. usually -ssociated with long days of suffering and watching your love interest hop from one bad relationship to another. verb tense is “friend-ed”.
“i spent all that money on a date, just to find out she put me in the friend zone(said with eerie echo).”

“you know that hot girl i’ve been talking to? she just friend-ed me.”
basically a very embarr-ssing situation both parties would probably like to forget. this can happen to anyone (who the h-ll cares about gender? this can happen to h-m-s-xuals, too. not only straight people want to find love).

a asks out b, but b doesn’t want to complicate the relationship they already have (because maybe they’re good friends, and no one likes loosing the chemistry or bond they have with a close friend).

in other words, not wanting to be more than just friends with someone that has feelings for you that are beyond friendship.

example:

“hey, b. i like you. i’ve liked you for quite a while now, actually. will you go out with me?”

“what? uh, i-i can’t do that, a. i’m sorry. i just want us to stay friends. nothing more…”

“…”

“…”

friend zoned.
a term often used in bitterness by men when women make the choice to not f-ck someone. often used by douchebags or people with nice guy syndrome.
i went to the friend zone once to make some friends but it was just a bunch of angry mens’ rights activists wearing fedoras.
“the ‘friend zone’ is like the penalty box of dating, only you can never get out. once a girl decides you’re her ‘friend,’ it’s game over. you’ve become a complete non-s-xual ent-ty in her eyes, like her brother, or a lamp.” – ryan reynolds in just friends
‘i’ve been locked in the friend zone with her since highschool!’
