Used to draw the "no sex/physical intimacy" boundaries. Generally used for people who have an agreeable personality but no sex appeal. A nice way of saying "I could never get on you."
I know we've been dating a lot, but I just like you as a friend.

Used by someone who opts out of offered intimacy when they don't fancy you.

A good friend who is merely in love, but decides to help you with your love anyways. They're usually sweet and kind, but discreet. They're just forging a friend relationship with you to keep tabs in a non-stalker way.
Friend 1: What the fuck. What is that girl doing?
Friend 2: She loves him but she's helping him out to go out with Becky
Friend 1: //scoff// gosh, she's such a friend A

Get the Friend A mug.
A word that defines those you keep company with. A person that is, trusting, caring, and will stick with you through thick and thin. The one you can talk to about anything and they wont judge you for it. Someone that when times are hard stands beside you saying "lets do this." The person that if no one else will, will stick up for you.
