Awkward Friends 

Friends who like each other in "that" way but are too busy to do anything about it. Being nervous plays a big role in it, they are also scared that they will fuck up their current relationship. It can also be referred to as Friends with Mutual Attraction.

Although Steve and I are awkward friends, we both have a crush on each other, too bad he doesn't have the balls to ask me out on a date.

Awkward friendship 

A friendship that feels awkward, especially after being dumped by your significant other.

Usually a friendship that you won't keep after being dumped by your girlfriend/boyfriend.

Guy 1: You got dumped by that hot chick you really like? Are you still friends with her?

Guy 2: Ehhhh, I am, but, it's real awkward. Now, she can have a relationship with any guy she wants, and not feel guilty about talking to me about it. I may as well dump her as a friend. What I have with her is an awkward friendship.
