Transfer Season
  • The time period in which to escape the friend zone (transfer out). The deadline is normally within one month after meeting someone. Transfer season reoccurs after every break up, when a new window of opportunity arises.
Jennifer met Andrew on the first of September during freshers week. It got to October the 3rd. Andrew was yet to make a move. Therefore he had missed the transfer season (he was stuck in the friend zone for the indefinite future). Jennifer started dating Harvey not long after, soon it was serious. A year later the relationship ended. Signifying the start of the next transfer season for Andrew.
