Backup friend 

A person who is someone you know and are "friends" with, but isnt treated like a friend. You are treated like an acquaintence. This is a person one only talks to when their actual friends are away. The person who is the back-up friend is treated poorly and is usually someone who doesnt have a lot of friends or gets a lot of dates. The backup friend is someone who gets the short end of the stick when it comes to friendship. The person who sees you as a backup friend doesnt care about you and isnt concerned with any part of you as long as you are someone they can come to when they want to converse with someone when their real friends have disappeared.
You see someone who you've been friends with who you havent seen in some time, but you want to invite them out for a drink or dinner and they all of a sudden ignore you, yet they were really chatty with you several months earlier. A clear sign you are a backup friend.

Forbidden Friend 

A forbidden friend is like forbidden fruit, you may look, you may even touch, but you mus'n't cross the line of "taking" for yourself.

A forbidden friend may be a best friend, or a friend admired from a distance. A forbidden friend is unique in that there is something that causes a roadblock[ to complete safety with that friend--most often there is attraction and intimacy, at the same time as the friend is unavailable as a lover--possibly due to prior commitment or lack of desire of total intimacy. This creates tension and complicates what should be an [easy and fulfilling friendship. Sometimes the one that desires the forbidden friend feels like creating distance since they will not attain what they want, but that is a loss for both parties. Thus, forbidden friends may continue on a rollercoaster of deepening closeness and distancing until someone closes a door, or someone opens one.
"Who were you talking to?"

Me: just a friend...

"You sounded like it was someone pretty special, not 'just' a friend.."

Me: well, it was my forbidden friend. But I can't do anything about it, so he remains just a friend.

internet friend

Its someone that knows you better than anyone else. You always see them behind a screen, either their face or their words. And when you hear their voice for the first time it’s like "OMG YOUR VOICE". You just want to spend time and do things with them. When they're having a bad day you wanna hug them, but can’t because internet.
I love my internet friends.
Internet friends are best friends.

Good friend 

Adrien: God, I want to marry my good friend and have her babies.

ex-best friend 

An ex-best friend is someone who you used to talk to about anything and everything . she or he would always make you smile. you would laugh together, dance together, maybe even cry together. but one day either you or your best friend made a mistake that hurt each other. now your best friend isn't your best friend anymore. An ex-best friend will probably stop talking to you, even though both of you want to heal your relationship. you will look at old photos of good times and that will make you smile but then sadness washes over you because you lost them. if you have an ex-best friend, you should talk to them and maybe you will become friends again. true friends are rare, don't cry over the loss until you have tried your hardest to fix your relationship.
i really want my ex-best friend to become my best friend again

Internet Friend

An internet friend is someone you just happened to meet online that you had a bunch of things in common with and became friends. But it turns out that that person will be there for you through everything, they will become you best friend. Internet friends aren't just people you'll forget about after a couple months or a even a couple years, if you make an internet friend they will stay with you and be there for you through everything. And those day, months, or years that you get to know each other will bring you so close together. You'll want to be with them everyday and never want to leave there side, but you can't cause they're just internet friends. But when that day comes the day you finally meet, the first tine you see them not through a screenvyou will run up to them hug them and cry, cry because finally you get to see them after all that time, that first time you hear there voice other then coming from a phone or a computer you'll be like, "Oh my god thats your voice! Your real voice!" The day you will them will quite possibly be one of the happiest days of your life.
