I know this has been covered...
But I wonder how folks would order these reasons for putting someone in the friend zone.
I think these are the big "strategic" reasons. It's up to respondents to order them in your own personal priority.
If you want to add something feel free.
As always be honest, have fun. (Or the regular DH thing its all good)

I dont think it needs to be named...we all dont date just anybody...unless there is attraction..compatibility and we enjoy each others company....and attraction for me means the whole package...looks...personality...inner qualities...sense of humour...good communicator etc etc etc...

Well, honestly, you can say several reasons of why they would not be interested....but this is not about it.
The person simply don't see Ya as a potential person to be dating.

Some people can't break with the past and move on. When my ex broke up with me, she told me that she doesn't do the "friends with exes thing." I was overjoyed at the idea not because I am bitter, but because I wanted to move on. I look at it like this: If you get fired or laid off from a job, why hang around with your ex-boss? Get another job and move on! I only let myself get friendzoned once. It will never happen again.

i think it's funny when people whine about being friendzoned much like the many other things they whine about but maybe the person that friendzoned u isn't romantically interested in ya and all the whinning In the world about it isn't gonna make her change her mind! it might just scare her away!
I missed a good chance with a gal a few yrs ago she was always a friend but I was interested in someone else and I basically ignored her hints at being interested in me because of my interest in this other person and now I'm LITTERALY paying for that huge mistake every day now because she's now engaged and I think back to when we used to talk on Facebook that I shoulda gave her a chance!

I've friend zoned men if I wasn't attracted to them, and for me attraction has many facets. And, I've friend zoned men that bring with them friend, work and or family complications. Some men are untouchable if becoming involved with them could possibly affect our other personal relationships.

I met a guy on here a couple months ago. We had a few things in common and great conversations. When we met face to face there was no spark for either of us. We were both honest about it and had a good time that night as friends only. We have played golf and a concert together.
We friend zoned each other.

Being put in the friendzone also means that you will be saved to be used for something later on. If someone isn't interested in me romantically, fine. Why keep me around for some other purpose? From my perspective, why should I waste my time hanging around with someone who has no romantic interest in me when I could be devoting my time and energy to someone who might be interested? If I wasn't interested in someone, I would tell her so, and wish her the best of luck. Friendzoning her would do neither of us any good.

I have never 'friendzoned' since that is apparently a thing..if I meet a guy and we don't click there is no runner up position. we may remain friendly but we don't 'build' a friendship.
I have had friends who at one time or another we enjoyed benefits but we never considered it would be anything else , the friendship remained or faded as things do over time...the bennies were not relevant.
I'd like to know wtf people mean when they say friendzoned. what exactly does that look like. do you start going to yoga class together or what?

No.
If I am "friend-zoned", then that is it. No "I'll back at you later...", I have more respect for myself than to be a last resort.
I value my friends, real friends. Those guys...just someone to say hi if I see them around. Although, I have been lucky enough to be fairly good friends with a few men that weren't interested in me romantically.
