I'm pretty sure everyone's definition of "Friend Zone" involves zero sex. You're thinking of "Fuck Buddy."

"Fuck buddy" implies no strings attached sex. But what I'm talking about involved strings/promises of strings. "friendzone" can involve sex.

Well, getting back to the original comment, if you and another have obligations, possessiveness, jealousy, AND sex, you got a relationship!

12 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

If you express your feelings, and they don't reciprocate, it's no longer a crush. It becomes the friend zone.

No, it becomes friendship, unless you're unable to deal, in which case that friend deserves better than your "friendship."

Feelings aren't turned on and off at will. I wouldn't go out of my way to keep seeing someone when the desire for them is lingering inside.

12 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

no, crush just means attraction. The definition of friendzone is literally "friend zone". Where one is categorized as a friend and no more.

That doesn't need its own thing. If you have a crush on a friend, it's a crush on a friend.

try urban dict, the popular consensus for the definition is romantic rejection via forceful platonic branding.
