No need to spend the first page praising me for it.
HOWEVER
She likes you "like a friend"?
I'm sorry to say, it's probably over between you, as a couple.

"Let's [Chat] that one more time."
It is like, the definition of trying too hard.
There's really no need, Tav.
Had We But World Enough, and [Chat]
I think he is saying that when someone specifically tells you that they like you as a friend, they mean they like you in a non-romantic sense. Yes, these feelings can change over time, but, that's what saying you like someone as a friend means.
Not at work, obviously.

(Sometimes I watch it at work.)
I could have sworn I did that at one point, but search suggests otherwise
WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP SAYING THAT!
I'm not bitter.
Wait, what?
Huh?
"Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do."

Had to hear it live just a week ago. Sorry.
Edit: Yeah, a movie. My life as a movie. Fuck.
OK?
O rly?
*e-hugs* Don't worry mang, always more fish in the sea.
In my mind, liking someone as a friend just means you like them for who they are, and is completely orthogonal to how sexually attracted you are to that person. I would say that I like my boyfriend as a friend too, because he's my best friend. But I know people use "like as a friend" to refer to having purely Platonic feelings, so I don't really think any conclusions can be drawn from that one phrase alone.
Too familiar? How about this.
"It's not small It's just no the right size for me."
The part after the However I read to mean that liking a person both as a friend and as a romantic interest couldn't coexist. I could have misinterpreted it however.
It's alright, Senj. You've been judged and found wanting. But don't take it too hard, it's happened to better men than you.
She cheated on him, and doesn't want to hurt his feelings, but she 'likes him as a friend.'
Yes, there's always the chance that she prescribes to a more unorthodox definition of 'friend' in that phrase, but do you really think so?
I'm absolute best friends with my girlfriend, too. And we were friends before we went out. And before we were going out, know how I liked her? As a friend.
But I was also attracted to her, and it seems very reasonably obvious that in this context she means she's not attracted to him anymore.
Edit: Scratch that. Ditzy is more fitting.
You're assuming the premise that there are, in fact, better men than I.
HO SHIT!

What about poker night? A story about that?
Uh, what? What about us? You bastard.
