Describe what it is like being in the 'friend zone':

it is like a spoonful of too old clotted cream meant to end eventually in the pasta sauce but not on the scone.

I don't know, I don't operate like that...sure, there have been women that I wanted to be more than just friends with, but there aren't 'zones' , they were just friends - sometimes we ended up fooling around and sometimes not, but whatever happened, it was sincere and organic - I wasn't a buzzard circling overhead waiting for an opportunity, I was a human with another human, and shit is too fluid and complex for 'zones'

I'm not sure I've ever been in the friend zone but I can easily imagine it. Frustrated, maybe angry that she doesn't want you sexually or romantically, forever holding out hope so continuing to be her friend and be nice to her, hoping she doesn't find another boyfriend in the meantime, maybe being too chickenshit to tell her how you feel or to ask her out, maybe knowing you blew it by not asking her out early on and trying to be friends with her instead
