Because of the posts I think I have a general idea what a friend zone is. I would appreciate a specific definition.
Friend zone just means a guy who she likes, but not romantically, who does not understand the context and body language and all that to pick up on her lack of romantic interest. He must stay in this zone so that her feelings can be protected. If she lets her guard down for one second, he will see it as his one chance, now or never, do or die. Borderline sexual assault can be traumatizing. Even if its not fair to categorize most shy guys that way, a girl can never be too careful, especially with things like reputation. Also, we aren't talking about adults here, these are teenagers and people in their 20s who are trying to navigate many different aspects of life.
