2.

Either because you only talk to the person large group settings and never really directly bonded, or because it's someone with whom you share nothing in common (other than a similar friend) and it would be awkward and uncomfortable to spend time alone together.

Most often it is a significant other's best friend.

"Nah, I don't see Megan anymore ever since Dave moved away. She was only a friend-in-law anyway."
