That they aren't sure or they weren't sure the whole time, they don't really know what love is and that they basically duped you into falling in love with them, since you felt safer to do it since you thought that person was in love with you?
Even if it's not intentional, unless they're teenagers, adults who do this sort of thing, IMO, are classless.
Now it's one thing, if the relationship has been over or was failing slowly and the person said, 'I don't think I'm in love with you anymore". It's another to retroactively say that they meant, "I meant like I love my dog or my family".
Feel free to share experiences if you've had this happen to you.
No so much like "I am in love with you" and then there's a breakup, but they still are in love with you, but when they've taken their words back or used them irresponsibly.

Absolutely not. If they're lying about that what else would they be lying about? I would not be friends with someone who told a lie. I understand white lies or you made a mistake but if it's a significant lie like you just described..no

The other person's cover is 'I don't really know what love is"

The second half of the sentence was not needed at all.

Friends? Like you're going to call one another to catch up, send funny things on Facebook, send an IM to say hi or happy birthday? Nah.

Maybe cordial. React pleasantly when you see the person or hear a name.

Or is "let's be friends" code for "Don't hate me and tell everyone"?

I didn't answer, because I don't stay friend as in hanging out or talking, with any ex's. We're friendly if we run into each other, but I see no purpose to try to hang on to something with a person after a relationship has ended.

Why?

Friendship requires honesty, respect, loyalty and trust.

Where does said person fit into this equation?
