When the girl takes the first move and the guy puts her in the friendzone.
The difference between the friendzone and the reverse friendzone is when the guy is in the friendzone it is just the friendzone, but when the girl is in the friendzone. It is the reverse friendzone because it is thought that more boys are put into the friendzone than girls, therefore it is called "the Reverse Friendzone" because it is not stereotypical.
Girls are usually put into this place when a guy is too shy to say yes or when he doesn't want a girlfriend.
Clara: So what happened with you and Jake??
Tiffany: Well, I told him how I felt and he said that he's not ready for a long-term relationship but he also said that we can still be friends.
Clara: Being in the Reverse Friendzone sucks, but unlike the Friendzone, sometimes boys can change their minds...
