Are "just friends", really just "back up people"?

[Anonymous]

In case your actual relationship/s fail, so you think you can then get with your "just friend"?

[Blackcosmo]

For me no. If I see you as a friend that's not going to change.

[SaoirseS]

No, my "just friends" friends are just that. There's no romantic investment. They are not fallbacks for relationships or potential relationships that don't work out.

[CloudMassacre]

For me, no. And “Just Friends” makes it sound like more of a fleeting thing than it is

I learned that super late in life

[fonduegirl]

Nope. Real friendship exist. Normal people are capable of it.

[purplepoppy]

I see them more as spare organs
