The Friendzone: Origin Story

"We were talking, flirting, everything felt right. Then we went on a few dates-until she broke it off. I backed away, but then she texted, saying she wanted to 'fight for us.' A few days later, I realized 'us' meant friendship, not dating. So, I asked straight up if she liked me, and she hit me with 'I see you as a friend.' I could've cried, I could've raged... instead, i got on my friends fun joke, originally. Because if I shell be friendzoned, I'll own it in style."

Might be riendzoned, but made it fashion.

Bro to Bro: The Perfect Valentine's Prank

"So, I finally grew the courage to ask Sarah out for Valentine's. She smiled and hit me with the dreaded, 'You're such a great friend.' My boys didn't let me live it down. The next day, they ordered me this 'Friendzoned' shirt as a 'consolation prize.' Now, I wear it like a badge of honor... lesson learned, fellas."

Prank them!

At This Point, It’s Tradition

"I got rejected… twice. At this point, it’s a skill. Instead of crying, I bought this shirt. Why? Because if I’m going to be single, I might as well make people laugh. Best purchase ever - gets more attention than I ever did."

by Daniel K.

Be single, but stylish :)

Don’t cry, laugh it off and wear it proud!

We started as a joke, but now we’re turning tears into smiles. It’s okay to feel down, but remember — let us put that gorgeous smile back on and let's keep going.

  • "The Ultimate Inside Joke—Or Am I the Joke?" -Sophia

    "Bought this for my guy best friend after he caught feelings. We’re still best friends… I think. Funny enough some other Sophia friendszoned too. I haven't ever expected to see my name on a shirt, but here we are."

  • "Single, but Hilarious" -us

    "She said, ‘You’re such a great guy… for someone else.’ Now, I wear this shirt like a war medal. Still single, but at least I’m funny."
