It was his maiden interview. He was excited and nervous at the same time. This guy eyed just one company and made every effort to make himself eligible to apply. There was nothing in the world for him other than this single opportunity. In a few moments, he was facing the interviewer.
The interviewer appeared to be pretty impressed with his achievements in life, his behavior, mannerisms and basically everything about him. However, the joy was short-lived and he faced a situation that he could have never expected even in the wildest of dreams.
The interviewer said, "I am very impressed with you. Your achievements as well as your contribution to society are impeccable. But I am very sorry to say that you cannot be a part of my company. Nonetheless, we will definitely call you in case my organization is going through a turmoil. If you don't mind, we would also like to keep a copy of your resume as well as other documents so as to set a standard for other prospective employees. We shall recruit a complete idiot or an alcoholic but just not you for some reason that I cannot explain"
Sounds familiar, isn't it?
This is exactly what happens when you are deeply attached to someone who considers you nothing more than a friend. This scenario is technically known as the "FRIEND ZONE". Remember, there is no scope of a promotion once you land up in this territory. Once friend zoned, you can only be demoted to the BHAI/BEHEN ZONE (brother/sister zone). And people, this is very likely to happen.

You might be wondering as to what might be the traits of an individual who lands up in the friend zone. He/she is someone who can go to any extent to help the other person, give a shoulder to cry on, burn gallons of fuel and be a driver, steal money from home to fulfill unreasonable demands and hope to step up the ladder of relationship. And believe me, he/she gets sh*t. The logic is pretty simple! You did not enter your preferences while filling up the imaginary form. Those who are inspired by movies and make efforts hoping they might have a narrow chance, FORGET IT.! It does't happen in reality and you are not Shahrukh Khan either.
Researchers advice that if you are deeply in love with someone (needless to mention, please be modest with your choice) either make a booking or stand in queue and wait for your turn. The other person also needs time to consult the entire friends circle, a host of websites and go through case studies before taking any kind of decision.
