25 Memes Explaining the Friend Zone Experience

Ah, the friend zone. Whether you are the friend zoner or the friend zonee - it's a tricky experience for everyone involved. On the one hand, we have the person doing the friend-zoning, which involves a mix of feelings like guilt and discomfort. Even though it's their right to say 'no', they will still feel bad about not reciprocating romantic feelings, especially if it's a good guy (or girl). 

On the other hand, we have the person in the friend zone. These folks may feel like they are not good enough or that their feelings aren't valued. It's inevitable that they will feel disappointed and will constantly long for more. Like I said, the friend zone is a tough spot for both. 

But at the end of the day, we have to remember to be understanding, empathetic, and open to communication in order to navigate this maze without hurting anyone's feelings. With that being said, I hope you enjoy these friend zone memes!
