== Real Life ==
* This is quite common in real life amongst childhood friends. Studies show that children who know each other during their early childhood will rarely develop any romantic interest later in life. It's hypothesized that this is part of an instinctual mechanism designed to minimize the possibility of [[Incest Is Relative|inbreeding]]. It's called [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Westermarck_effect:Westermarck effect|Westermarck effect]]. But do Middle/High schoolers with those two friends who have known each other since preschool care? Nooooooo....
* [[Leonardo Di Caprio]] and [[Kate Winslet]], having been very close friends after [[Titanic]] and collaborated again in [[Revolutionary Road]] and nothing more. [[Actor Shipping|Shippers]] disagree. Kate's kids call him "Uncle Leo", and for a kissing scene in [[Revolutionary Road]], Leonardo stated that it felt slightly weird because kissing Kate was like kissing a family member.
* ''[[Harry Potter]]'' actors [[Rupert Grint]] and [[Emma Watson]] said it was weird to kiss each other for the eighth and last movie because they had grown up together since the first one and thought of each other as brother and sister. Same when Emma had to kiss [[Daniel Radcliffe]] (though the relevant scene itself was already decidedly unpleasant in context).
* Arguably the luckiest of King Henry VIII's wives was [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_of_Cleves:Anne of Cleves|Anne of Cleves]]. Misled by flattering portraits on both ends and a need for a political alliance, they married. As soon as it was time to consumate things, the pair found out that there was absolutely ''zero'' attraction and Henry opted for an annullment. Lucky Anne, though, kept in good standing with Henry, and became known as the "King's beloved sister."
* David Faustino denied that there was ever any romance between him and Christina Applegate on ''[[Married With Children]]'', instead defining their relationship as this trope.
* [[Jennette McCurdy]] has specifically said that kissing [[Nathan Kress]] feels like kissing a brother, and it's part of the reason some fans see the relationship of Sam and Freddie in the 5th season of ''[[I Carly]]'' as being subject to [[Shipping Bed Death]] due to the lack romantic chemistry.
