Friends Aren't Waiting to Be Lovers. Have you ever been friends with someone, and everything is great? You’re getting food, sending each other dumb videos, talking about life, and it’s easy. There’s no pressure, no games, no expectations. Then one day, they sit you down and say, “I need to tell you something,” and suddenly the friendship is never the same. Jim and Pam from The Office. A common example of friends-to-lovers. I'd even say a good one. Credit: Fandom Somewhere al
