The Friend Zone is a thing people are generally actively trying to avoid.
It's that place where one person is more interested than the other, but that person doesn't really get to their goal of a relationship or *ahem* something else, but are allowed to stay around as long as they don't cross a line.
I personally hate the term friend zone, but that's a whole other story.
