The Fez Zone

An extension of the friend zone. A particularly aggravating metaphorical place, that people end up in when someone they are interested in only wants to be friends. Unlike the regular friend zone however, this state is for an individual that has no chance of ever leaving this metaphorical purgatory.

Person 1: Hey man have you been able to talk Emily into going on a date with you?
Person 2: Unfortunately no. When I asked her she said that she would never date me because I'm like a cross between her biological brother and her gay best friend

Person 1: Damn man thats tough. Sounds like you're in The Fez Zone.
