在向暗戀已久的朋友告白前，都要做好三種準備，一種是得償所愿，一種是被拒絕但friend zoned（還是做朋友吧），還有最糟的一種是acquaintance zoned（踢出朋友圈），連朋友也沒得做。
You are friend zoned when a member of the opposite sex (usually one you want to hook up with) declares you to be "just a friend", thereby ruining all potential chances of sex.
當你想追求的異性宣告你只是他（她）的朋友時，你就此被“劃入朋友圈”，你倆之間從此再無可能。
Acquaintance zoned is similar to being friend zoned, only far worse. While being friend zoned can sometimes produce a friend, being acquaintance zoned produces nothing.
“劃入熟人圈”比“劃入朋友圈”還慘，“劃入朋友圈”至少還能做做朋友，“劃入熟人圈”連朋友都做不成。
Example:
Josh: So how did asking out Sarah go?
Larry: Not well at all. No interest.
Josh: Friend zoned?
Larry: Worse. Acquaintance zoned.
喬什：你把莎拉約出來那事怎么樣啦？
拉里：糟透了。她對我一點興趣也沒有。
喬什：她給你“好人卡”啦？/她想和你做普通朋友？
拉里：比那更糟。連朋友也沒得做。
