Line 54:
* Jerry [[Seinfeld]] and Elaine. One [[UST]] episode that [[Negative Continuity|doesn't actually seem to be canon]]. It's [[Played for Laughs]] in the last episode as they seem on the edge of a [[Dying Declaration of Love]] during a plane crash, only to quickly backpedal once they survive (Elaine claims she was about to say "I've always loved U...nited Airlines").
* Willow and Xander in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|Buffy]]'', whose [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] and [[Oblivious to Love]] statuses only give way to romance when they're both in other relationships. Willow chooses her relationship with Oz (and then, after they break up, [[No Bisexuals|discovers she's a lesbian]]) and she and Xander remain best friends.
** Also Cordelia and Wesley, whose smoldering [[UST]] when they met in ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' came to a head with their first kiss -- whichkiss—which quickly became their very awkward and physically uncomfortable ''last'' kiss. Their friendship continued to grow in ''[[Angel]]'', but they aren't above playfully making fun of each other over which one's the worse kisser when recounting the story for others.
* On ''[[Criminal Minds]]'', JJ and Reid go on one date . . . and end up close friends, and nothing more.
* Harry and Christine in ''[[Night Court]]'' (lampshaded later where, after Christine turns down an invitation from Harry, Harry responds giddily "Isn't it great? We can say 'no' again!")
Line 70:
* ''[[The Wonder Years]]'' ends like this for {{spoiler|Kevin and Winnie}}.
{{quote|'' {{spoiler|Still we never forgot our promise. We wrote to each other once a week for the next eight years. I was there to meet her when she came home...with my wife, and my first son, eight months old.}}''}}
* On [[Smallville]], Chloe lusted after Clark Kent in the earliest seasons, and it initially looked like her status was going to be as the [[Romantic Runner-Up]] and [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]], but ultimately she got over her infatuation and moved on with her life; and she and Clark ultimately decided that they were [[Better as Friends]] and developed a [[Like Brother and Sister]] relationship.
* ''[[The Adventures of Pete and Pete]]'' ''tried'' to pull this with Big Pete and Ellen, though the show's reluctance to bother with continuity meant it didn't stick and Big Pete was back to pining for Ellen a mere seven episodes later.
