Brother zone is the area of a relationship between two people where one person is romantically interested in the other person but he or she thinks of him as a brother. It is an utterly hopeless situation that is much worse than the Friend zone where the pursuer should just give up and go for someone else.
The brother zone is a common problem for many "nice" guys who are friends with a girl they like for too long without making a move. Many Beta orbiters also get stuck in the brother zone.
