Two people date for a while, realize they're Better As Friends, and use that as their excuse when asked. Sometimes this leads to a [[UST]] plotline, but not always. The phrase "[[Let's Just Be Friends]]" is usually uttered at some point.
 
Note that this isn't just people who stay on good terms after a break-up, but who really do remain good friends to the point where the plot uses them as an [[Odd Couple]] at times.

* Bree and Daniel from ''[[Lonelygirl15]]'', after much arguing, much [[Will They or Won't They?]], and a fair amount of [[Wangst]].
* This is the theme in [[Vocaloid|Luka Megurine]]'s song ''Just be friends''. The man in the song (from whose viewpoint is sangsung) it's still in love with the girl and wishes he could get back to the past to begin again, but also recognizes that the relationship ''now'' is going nowhere and prefers to split and saves whatever remains of friendship can be salvaged.
* Thalia and Hephaestus in ''[[Thalia's Musings]]''. Hardly anyone remembers that they used to date. Hephaestus is in love with Aphrodite in spite of her constant cuckolding, and Thalia is [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|totally not in love with Apollo]].
