Very true....

Friendship may, and often does, grow into love, but love never subsides into friendship.

which is really dumb when you think about it. You spend so much time with a person and if it doesn't work out you just lose the person you spent a big chunk of your life like it never existed.

That is true but in my experience... the quote is true too. I can think of only one ex of mine that I still consider a "friend" and I hardly talk to him and it took me like maybe five years to get to the point where I did consider him a friend. Guys I've just casually dated but didn't get serious with, sure; I'm friends with several of those. But love? No, it just doesn't work out. When I was younger I had illusions that it would but it was disaster after disaster and sometimes ended up hating the person more because of stuff that happened post-breakup during the "friends" time than stuff that happened during the breakup or the relationship.
