The 21 Most Romantic Quotes From Friends

After Ross and Rachel have their baby at the end of season 8, Phoebe doesn’t understand why the pair aren’t officially back together. Ross explains that the two of them are finally in a good place, and he doesn’t want to ruin it, especially with Emma in the picture now. Phoebe considers, this but reminds him that he’s been in love with Rachel for most of his life.

After Phoebe calls Monica high-maintenance, Monica demands Chandler show up to the coffee house and recite a script she had written about how she is, in fact, no such thing. Chandler screws up his lines, but comes in for the win with this quote that he totally improvised from the heart.

Mike and Phoebe broke up in Season 9 because he didn’t ever want to get married again. The pair were heartbroken, but at the very end of the season, Mike showed up to declare his love for her and offer her any future she wanted — including marriage.

While this was by far my least favorite match throughout the series, when Rachel and Joey realized they could not find their groove as a couple, they had to admit defeat and call it quits. As they processed the end of their relationship, Rachel couldn’t understand how Monica and Chandler could go from friends to in love so easily, and Joey decided it was because they weren’t as good friends as he and Rachel were.

Some of the best Friends quotes about love came in the first two seasons when the “will they/won’t they” game between Ross and Rachel was at its height. After Rachel drunk dials Ross and leaves a message telling him she’s over him, he steps back confused, and asks, “When were you under me?”

Chandler and Monica became a couple after a few too many drinks and a hookup in London. But as they were planning their wedding, Chandler found out that Monica had originally made her way to his hotel room that night looking for Joey. He’s understandably upset upon hearing this news, but Joey makes it better with some of his best friend wisdom.

I don’t think cuter vows have ever been exchanged. I absolutely love this line, especially when Mike tells Phoebe she’s “so wonderfully weird,” because it shows just how much he loves and accepts her.

After Ross and Rachel have a few too many drinks in Vegas and get married, they have to get divorced. Ross’ divorce history is a running joke in the series, and even though he’s laughing at himself a little here, he’s also admitting that he still has some love for Rachel.

Look, Chandler and Monica are one the best couples of the series, but her relationship with Richard was also very sweet. At the end of Season 2, the pair split because they want different things in life, and instead of facing the situation, Richard proposes they ignore the inevitable for a little while longer and, instead, just keep dancing.

While I love that Phoebe ultimately ended up with Mike, David is the only other character that I think she also would have been happy with. Every time they’d reunite when he came back from Russia, it was so sweet because he always said things like this.

Chandler delivers this speech to a pregnant woman who he’s begging to change her mind about picking him and Monica as her baby’s adoptive parents. There are a handful of Friends quotes about love that Chandler delivers well, but this one is among the best.

Ross delivers this quote early on in the series, well before he and Rachel are ever “on a break.” Though, it’s definitely a line that rings true up until the very last episode.

During Season 8, Joey develops a crush on Rachel that ultimately turns into a one-sided love. So, to cheer him up, Phoebe arranges for Joey to spend a day with a sweet pup, and instead of the dog lifting his spirits, Joey confesses his love to it and leaves it feeling depressed (but trust me, it’s actually a lot funnier than it sounds).

At the end of Season 4, Ross is in London about to marry Emily and Rachel realizes how much she still loves him. At the last minute, she decides to fly out to London to make sure he has “all the information” before he says “I do.” Thankfully, she decides against confessing her love, but that doesn’t stop Ross from saying her name at the altar instead of Emily’s.

Chandler and Monica’s proposal scene is so sweet, and it starts out with Monica trying to propose to him. Eventually, through a lot of tears, Chandler gives her this speech and pops the question, to which she obviously says “yes.”

Gary and Phoebe’s relationship was short-lived, but it was really cute while it lasted. Even though they hadn’t been together very long, Gary wanted to move in with her, and when she hesitated he explained why he wanted to live with her — in a seriously adorable way.

Another meaningful relationship, even if it wasn’t endgame, was Chandler and Kathy. Unfortunately, Joey met Kathy first and Chandler had to sit there and watch his best friend be with the woman he was falling in love with. So, when Joey told Chandler he needed to be nicer to Kathy, Chandler gave this passionate response.

Love is all about accepting someone for who they are, flaws and all, right? This is clearly how Chandler feels about Monica’s very, very organized ways.

In the series finale, Ross and Rachel realize they’re still in love with each other, but Rachel is on a plane headed for Paris. In a message on Ross’ machine, Rachel can be heard begging the flight attendant to let her off the plane, and Ross keeps asking “did she get off the plane?!” before Rachel appears at the door and answers, “I got off the plane.”

Rachel and Ross had so many pivotal moments in their relationship, but one of the biggest was when they got back together after being “on a break” when Rachel confessed that she was still in love with Ross and that their breakup was just because she was mad at him.

This is probably the most famous of all Friends quotes about love. When Rachel and Ross finally kiss and get together, Phoebe declares them each other’s lobsters, which (as she explained earlier) means they’re meant for each other.
