"we should still be friends" 

The most horrible words a male could hear when asking-out or breaking up with a female.
1)What girl says:I don't want to go out with you, but "we should still be friends"
What guy hears:I would rather torture you with the thought of going out with me and watch you writhe in anguish, because it makes me feel good about myself.
2)Girl:We shouldn't go out anymore,but "we should still be friends".
Guy:If we're still gonna be friends why the hell did we go out in the first place?

It's Cool We Can still be friends 

One of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Ever, truely.
Written by conor oberst, of bright eyes.
"And you say that I hurt you, in a voice like a prayer
Yeah, you say that I've hurt you, and your voice is like a prayer. Yeah, well maybe I hurt you sometimes, let's contrast and compare...lift up your shirt, the wound isn't there. I guess that your truth, is just the ghost of your lies...
...Yeah, your kind of truth, darling, is just the ghost of your lies, & I see through them all the time...
...I'm pouring some whiskey right now, I'm going to get so, so drunk, that I pass out, & forget your face, by the time I wake up..."

Kid 1: "Have you heard that beautiful song by Conor Oberst"
Kid 2: "But there are so many!"
Kid 1: "One of the most beautiful"
Kid 2: "Oooh, It's Cool We Can still be friends!"

We can still be friends 

Something that two people in a relationship say after they break up.

This rarely even happens, saying it is just a formality. Sorry.
Jeremy: I'm sorry, but it's not working out anymore. We can still be friends tho.
Madeline: Yeah, sure, I'd love that.

*avoids the other while walking in the corridors for 3 more eternities*

We can still be friends 

5 five words that are impossible to accomplish. Just a nice way of saying: “your clingy so we can still talk once a year”
Guy: “Hey this isn’t working, but we can still be friends
Girl: “yeah that’d be great”
*guy to self: not gonna he friends*
*girl to self: friends? Seriously? How dumb does he think I am?*

We can still be friends 

Something one says when dumping their partner, but this is unlikely to happen unless the couple has kids or owns a business together.
My ex: Everything can be like before. We can still be friends. I don't want to lose you altogether.

Me: Nah fuck you, I don't keep friendships after relationships. I'm not that forgiving, sorry....

I still want to be friends 

A sentence used while dumping someone. What it really means is that you two will still be friends, but nothing more. In other words, no more pussy.
Sean, I feel like my feelings for you have been fading. I shouldn't have said yes to you in the first place, but I still want to be friends. That's OK right? (gives innocent smile)

I still want to be friends 

An old cliché used, mostly by girls, who dump their boyfriend/girlfriend, to try to lessen the blow and hurt they will go through for months. However, being friends can never happen and they will soon forget about you, leaving you to pick up the broken pieces of your heart all alone.
Girl: "I don't want a boyfriend anymore, I'm so sorry. But I still want to be friends"
