My teens have either said that or have been told that at one point or another--usually in response to a confessed crush or a break-up. It's never easy to hear those words when you were hoping for something more. Still, it is better than becoming enemies, right? I have noticed that my son especially begins relationships with girls by saying that they are just friends. Usually, that grows into more and suddenly they become his girlfriend. After they break up, they are once again friends. I don't know if that will always happen--it is sometimes hard to remain friends with an ex. But I do think relationships that start as friendships is a good foundation. Hearing the words "Let's be friends" can be a good thing! :)
