* Tsubame from ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' mentions that she regularly says this to boys when she turns them down, but they always end up drifting away from her afterwards. [[spoiler:Part of the reason why she spends so much time agonizing over whether or not to accept Ishigami's LoveConfession is because [[NoSparks while she may not feel anything for him romantically]], she doesn't want to lose him as a friend (on top of wanting to avoid breaking his heart). So when she ultimately does reject him on graduation day, it includes a sincere plea for him to not leave her like all the previous boys, and it's mentioned in a few future chapters that the two of them do still hang out from time to time (though obviously not as much given that she's gone off to college).]]

* Music/JohnMichaelMontgomery's "Friends," from the POV of the person on the receiving end. The singer makes the bitter point that "friends" is a relationship that often drifts apart over time, and insinuates that's what she'd like to have happen to them, even though he's still in love with her and he desperately doesn't.

* ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'''s Season 5 flashback episode of Rick's early days with Bird Person, "Rickternal Friendshine of the Rickless Mort", Rick basically indirectly confesses his feelings for Bird Person by inviting him to travel the multiverse together with him. However, BP is a bit put off by Rick's nihilistic statements about how the infinite nature of the multiverse means that "nothing matters" (and there's also no indication given that he's interested in men at all anyway), and politely turns him down in favor of just being friends. They indeed remain best friends for years, but Rick does occasionally show some signs of bitterness that it never became anything more, most prominently at BP's wedding to Tammy.
