friend-bench

the place you go when the person you are romantically interested in tells you they want to just be friends.

a strategy that rarely works where someone continues being friends with their romantic interest thinking they have a chance to get with them, even though the other person blindly hooks up with everyone but them because they are "such good friends"

Stan got relegated to the friend-bench again when Samantha hooked up with John at the end of the night even though Stan chatted her up for four hours.
