The phrase your girlfriend/boyfriend says to you after you break up but still want to be "
just friends." In other words, they're just saying it because they have to. They don't really still love you. They replace the "you" with "ya" to make it casual, and
not serious. It makes things awkward - especially if
one of you guys still likes eachother but you realize this whole "unserious" thing.
Relationships suck.
Example of not understanding
casualness:
JAKE: Even though we broke up, I still
wanna be friends. Cool?
JANE: (still likes Jake) Oh yeah, that sounds great!
JAKE: Yeah. Well I gotta go call Miranda.
Love ya!
JANE: Oh, I love you too, Jake.
Example of actually having common sense:
JAKE: Even though we broke up, I still wanna be friends. Cool?
JANE: (still likes Jake) Oh yeah, that sounds great!
JAKE: Yeah. Well I gotta go call Miranda. Love ya!
JANE: Oh, you too. I gotta go call Mike...and Ryan.;)
