* ''Series/Hunter1984''. In "Unfinished Business" it's revealed that Hunter and Dee Dee had a one-night stand three years ago that neither had talked about since then. When they finally discuss the issue with the department shrink, it's Hunter who brings up this trope as the reason why they hadn't talked about it.
-->'''Hunter:''' I didn't want to risk losing my friendship with her. ''(looks at Dee Dee)'' I didn't want to lose my partner.



-->'''Monygham:''' When I see you sitting there, I see the sadness in your eye ''I want to seize him by the throat!''

* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible''. The main reason why Ron Stoppable doesn't get together with Kim before the RelationshipUpgrade the two undergo is because of their strong friendship since childhood. Kim's reason is partially due to this, but also because of "the food chain" in social conventions and doubts about Ron's maturity. In Ron's case, it ''almost'' leads into IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy during ''[[KimPossibleMovieSoTheDrama So The Drama]]'', where Ron decides against telling Kim how he really feels, leaving her to attend the prom with [[RomanticFalseLead Eric]] whilst he doesn't go and instead sits in Bueno Nacho feeling sorry for himself... where he learns that Dr. Drakken is using Bueno Nacho as part of his new plan, leading to the reveal that Eric is a synthodrone and allowing Ron the chance to confess to Kim, who returns his affection.

* Halloween of ''Manhwa/WitchHunter'' doesn't confess her feelings for her contractor Tasha, because she has seen how he treats girls who are attracted to him, with complete and total respect and kindness, but a clear message he is not looking for a relationship. She is entirely happy being his supporter, as it means she is the closest person to Tasha and able to understand and see more of him than anyone else, including having a literal mental connection to him.

** Phoebe and Joey get along very well to the point of being a FanPreferredCouple. Phoebe suggests a few times that she finds him attractive and wouldn't mind dating him, but she values his friendship even more. At one point Monica falsely tells her Joey has feelings for her, and Phoebe considers the possibility for a moment before saying outright that's not willing to risk their friendship. For what it's worth, in the final season Joey ends up performing Phoebe's wedding ceremony to Mike.
