It's the friend zone of friendships. Unlike friend-zoning, which is when someone you want to be your lover says you should just be friends. Acquaintance zoning is when someone who you want to be friends with doesn't even want to be your friend. This can be way more degrading than friend-zoning, usually because being friend-zoned most of the time is because a person knows you more as a friend than a lover. But an Acquaintance Zone is when a person doesn't even want to get to know you and develop a relationship as friends, which can be way more degrading than rejecting a romantic relationship.
