just friends

Definition

The romantic equivalent of being told "we'll keep your resume on file"—technically positive words that actually mean you've been permanently disqualified. It's the phrase deployed when someone sees you as a wonderful human being with zero romantic potential, relegating you to the role of emotional support while they date people with far less going for them. The friend zone's official motto.

Example Usage

"She said I'm amazing and we should stay just friends. So basically, I'm overqualified but unhireable."
