we wouldve been good friends vs we couldve been friends

Both phrases are correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. 'We would've been good friends' implies a stronger certainty or belief that a good friendship could have existed, while 'We could've been friends' suggests a possibility or potential for friendship without stating it as definitively. The choice between the two depends on the level of certainty or belief the speaker wants to express.
