I've been "friendzoned" before. Honestly I'd rather be friends If I can't be in a relationship with somebody. If they don't want to be my special somepony them I'l be glad they are at least my friend. I really can't wrap my head around why one would stop liking another if they got friendzoned. That is just a testament that you never really cared for them. Yeah rejection hurts I know. But if they really cared about the person, they wouldn't wish to stop seeing the altogether. That is why I don't like the whole friendzone thing. You shouldn't be sad that you are friends. You should be happy! Happy that you at least can still talk with them, hang out, and care for them. Even if it isn't romantically.
