When you say, "let's just be friends," do you really mena it or are you just trying to soften the blow?

most of the time... its just a sop. going from one type of realtionship to another does not work most of the time,, the relationship changes the baselines.. kinda hard to describe.. kinda like if you have ever heard the phrase,, "you can never go back home". If you actualy reamind good friends wirth x's , you are a heck of a person.
