The central driving force of many whole series, or an undercurrent to a main plot. The force with which the two deny any feelings is always inversely proportional to the truth. '''Just Friends''' is in essence, a relationship, a potential relationship or teased relationship between people who are simply '''Just Friends''', in a normal, and regular manner. When a character uses the line "We're Just Friends" but no-one seems to believe them, this is likely to be the trope involved. Line 36 ⟶ 37: '''This is a [[Love Tropes]] and entries may spoil the [[Ending Tropes\|endings]] of relationships and works as a whole. You have been warned.''' {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == Anime & Manga == * In the first episode of the anime [[D.N.Angel]], Daisuki is looking forward to finally confessing his feelings to his longtime crush Risa. Only for just right before he can say anything, she thanks Daisuke for being such a good '''friend''' to her, heavily emphasizing the word friend. The look on Daisuke's face made it look like it would of hurt less if he was just kicked between the legs. Line 191 ⟶ 192: == Music == * ''"Just Be Friends''" by Dixie Flatline featuring [[Vocaloid\|Luka Megurine]]. * ''"Roll to Me''" by Del Amitri. * ''"You Belong with Me''" by [[Taylor Swift]]. * ''"Why Don't You Kiss Her?''" by [[Jesse McCartney]]. * ''"Seven Days in Sunny June''" by [[Jamiroquai]]. * ''"You Don't Know Me''", which is a country song that was written by Cindy Walker and Eddy Arnold. Covered many times, but the two most recognisable ones are by [[Ray Charles]] and [[Michael ~~Buble~~Bublé]]. * ''"Friend Is a Four Letter Word''" by ~~Cake~~[[CAKE (band)\|CAKE]]. * ''"Just a Friend''" by Mario. * ''"Deep Waters''" by Incognito. * ''"My Best Friend's Hot''" by The Dollyrots. * ''"Don't Let Go''" by En Vogue. * ~~The song ''~~"Friendly Duet''" ~~but~~by [[Flanders and Swann]] parodies this trope. * ''"Why Do All Girls Think They're Fat''" by [[Reel Big Fish]] is about a character who develops feelings for his friend but she refuses to let him go farther than being this trope. * ''"Love Toto Love You''" by [[The Corrs]] is just one of several songs that reference these type of relationships. [[The Corrs/WMG\|The Corrs Wild Mass Guessing]] page shows that several of their songs put together portray a Just Friends relationship with a happy ending. At the start, the woman's feelings for her ex block any romance with the man. Despite both knowing he has feelings for her, he helps her through her pain. However the man decides that [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy\|he wants his beloved to be happy]] and stops trying to make her fall for him. There is the woman's [[Love Epiphany]], an [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo]], until both finally realising their feelings are now reciprocal. Next comes [[Intercourse with You\|the moment they first make love]], the honeymoon period, falling deeper for each other, until they are well and truly in love with each and wanting to spend the rest of their lives together. * ~~The song ''~~"Friend Zone''" by [[Equals Three\|Your Favorite Martian]], [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin\|obviously]]. * "Friends" by Marshmello & Anne-Marie. == Radio ==
