What does 'friendzoning' mean?

[Kikki]

Hi guys. I see alot of slang here and understand most of it but what does the word 'friendzoning' mean? I see it alot so please someone explain it to me?

The "friend zone" refers to a platonic relationship where one person wishes to enter into a romantic relationship, while the other does not. It is generally considered to be an undesirable situation by the lovelorn person. Once the friend zone is established, it is said to be difficult to move beyond that point in a relationship.

Let me explain this in a way you'll be able to understand:

Let's say you're a nameless shinobi & your mission is to stick your kunai into Obito. When you get into stabbing range, rather than physically fight with you, Obito just warps you into his pocket dimension. So, not only do you fail to stab Obito, but he doesn't even bother to fight with you.

Then it gets worse, Obito let's you out of the pocket dimension a few time per week to ask your opinion on his shoes or your thoughts on X Factor, which you don't even watch, & you begin to think that maybe he'll slip up & you'll still get a chance to complete your mission.

So Obito constantly lets you out to ask you stupid things, but when you go to grab your kunai to stab him, he senses it & just puts you back...eventually this makes you so frustrated that you stab yourself with your own kunai repeatedly.

-Hope this helps

My dear friend. I appreciate your effords but I can very well comprehend something without the shinobi-type of explanation. Thank you anyways. :rofl:

So it pretty much means making up a relationship with someone that is completely one-sided, stalking someone etc.?

I asked because in two threads, I saw stuff like 'Rin friendzoned Obito' or 'Itachi was friendzoned by his gf'.

It means you won't be able to pop the cherry inside that girl's pie.

Being friendzoned doesn't mean you stalk someone (well maybe some people become stalkers but I don't know about that). It simply means that the other person sees you as a friend, or even as a best friend, but never a potential lover.
If a guy likes a girl more than just as a friend, he can maybe confess his feelings to her but if she says she only likes him as a friend and doesn't see them ever being a couple, then he's being friendzoned.
Literally being put in the zone of being friends and nothing more.
And usually friends stay friends and not become something more like lovers (though exceptions always exist)

Rin made it clear that she had a crush on Kakashi and not on Obito, despite the fact that Obito was crushing on her. So you can say that Rin unknowingly friendzoned Obito by just seeing him as a friend and crushing on her other teammate

Thank you, Sasunarufan. Like ever, you bring sense into my confused mind.

It's like Santa Claus...some believe in it, some not....But as above said, if you love someone and he/she wants to be only friends, then you are friendzoned and it's really hard to move on...but it's still better than being absoultely abandoned,because you still have a slight chance in the future, besides if you realyl love the person, you can support him/her as a friend and that's what important

It's a very tragic event when a girl you like sees you nothing more than like her brother...or a lamp.

It's what happens when you are friends with a love interest and the person that you love just wants to be friends...
(I know that feeling all to well...)
