Usually used when one is masking a crush they have on their friend. Though the word is platonic, it will instantly be romantic when repeated. The person saying this are not trying to convince someone else they’re friends, they are trying to convince themselves that they don’t like someone.

Imagine- Your walking toward the building of your school and meet you friends. One with glasses and dark brown hair, one with light brown hair and no glasses, and the other with blonde hair and blue glasses. None of them are silent except the blonde hair one. I always try to get her to talk. Once we get to the steps, we take a big step back, and start to try and run up the stairs. It gets hard when your class is on the top floor. We all get to our classes, and don’t see each other all day. At the the end of the day we start talking random again, telling each other what weird or exotic things happen in class.

To act like ones relationship with a friend is going well while secretly excluding them from your life behind their backs

A true friend is someone you can rely on and who will be there for you. They can hold your deepest and darkest secrets and won't spread them around. But more than that, they aren't only there when you are at your lowest but also your best. When something good happens to you, they will be your hype man and be excited about you. They also feel the same way, so when something happens to them, they will tell you so you can hype them up. They don't only make you initiate some conversations or talk to you when they are struggling or need assistance.

A “friend” that you romantically pursue out of revenge for something that your significant other did.

A "friend" who treats everyone the same, without paying close attention to any of them, and incapable of intimate reciprocal engagement; someone who is respectful and benign, but cannot form real close bonds with others.
Have you noticed that he's a socialist friend? He's nice and talks to everyone, but no one actually invites him to hang out outside of work.
