Friend zone is a situation where one person wants a romantic relationship, and the other sees only a friend. Imagine spending a lot of time with someone you like, and they perceive you only as a "good friend."
The friend zone can occur when you don't express your feelings and hopes right away, thinking that maybe over time something will change. To avoid the role of the eternal friend, it's important to be honest with yourself and others. If you feel that your relationship means more to you than just friendship, it's worth saying so. It can be scary, but honesty helps to understand whether there is a chance for something more or if it's better to remain friends.
In short, the friend zone is when you are loved as a friend, but you want more.
