If you ask a question friend zone - this is good or bad, then from the point of view of the object of love it is good, because there is always the opportunity to get free help, "for free" to spend free time in entertaining institutions, and just do not feel lonely. A hard touching zone turns into a real tragedy for a lover. The person suffers, suffers, but does not dare to break this relationship, because all the time he hopes that they will grow into something more. He understands that he is actually used, but nothing can be done about it.
