Friend-zonee is internet slang for a person who has been friend-zoned — placed by a romantic interest into the 'friend zone,' a social position where romantic or sexual interest is not reciprocated and the relationship is constrained to friendship. The '-ee' suffix denotes the recipient of an action (cf. 'employee,' 'trainee'), marking the friend-zonee as the passive recipient of the friend-zoning. The term is used in online dating and relationship discussions, typically with some self-pity or humour.
He'd been a friend-zonee so many times that his friends had stopped offering dating advice.
