Sentence used to traditionally, gently let down someone that has an unrequited romantic and/or sexual interest in a friend/acquaintance. If they takes badly to this clearly very polite alternative of "I am not really romantically and/or sexually interested in you, but I still find value in you as a person and I'd like you by my side" (i.e., throws a tantrum, claims ownership or a "debt" for all the "nice things they've done", etc.), they weren't a friend in the first place and only saw your friendship as purely transactional. Run far away and find better friends.
Girl: I'm sorry, but I'd rather we just be friends.
Nice Guy: WOW AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE DONE FOR YOU? YOU FEMOIDS ARE ALL THE SAME, I DESERVE AT LEAST SOMETHING FOR BEING SUCH A NICE GUY
Girl: Wooo, thank you for confirming I dodged a bullet there.
Guy: Let's just be friends.
Nice Girl: HAH AS IF I WASN'T JOKING, I ONLY HANG AROUND YOU OUT OF PITY, YOU'RE FUGLY ANYWAY
Guy: Okay, we won't be friends either.

I liked you and enjoyed spending time with you, but now you are creeping me out. You are very possessive of me, stalking me and you won't allow me to talk to any other guy/girl except you. This will never work out and I'm out!
Let's just be friends.

What a girl says when she's not interested in a relationship with you, but just wants to be friends with you. That is literally it. She does not owe you a relationship, or sex, or anything for you being nice to her. You can't bitch and moan about her "going for the douchebags" or going for guys who will "treat her like shit" because that's just you refusing to believe that any woman /dare/ not be interested in you, so you make yourself believe that it must be something wrong with her.
Sorry, but she's just not interested. Either you move on while being friends, or you stop being friends. You can't turn a yes into a no, no matter how much of a "gentleman" you are.

1: Hey, we seem to enjoy being around each other and share some of the same interests. Would you like to go out some time?
2: No thanks, let's just be friends.
1: I respect your decision and will not bitch and moan about how all girls are sluts who only go for guys who treat them like shit, because I can take a rejection without letting it bother me.
2: Wow, you're a normal human being!

A phrase when a girl/guy politely tells you that they don't see you as a romantic partner, but still wants to be friends with you.
If you are angered or feel insulted by this, you really shouldn't be, as it's their personal choice and opinion on who they view as a friend or as a partner and you should just move on as this is one chapter in you life.
Keep your friendship with said person and to not ruin it unless you are one of those "Nice Guy" or "Nice Girl"

Sometimes when running into a guy who is a general Nice Guy or someone with Nice Guy Syndrome it's good to put them down gently with the phrase "Let's Just Be Friends". it signifies that at a girl or boy feels little to no attraction towards the guy or girl that has been pining for them for a date.
Most often this leads to the friendzone and if you don't mind being just friends that's perfectly okay, but if you are creepy you might never be talked to again.
