People on the receiving end of this phrase are expected to simply grow up and take the rejection like reasonable adults instead of whining like small children over the internet.

Person A: I like you.
Person B: I'm sorry, lets just be friends.
Person A: Oh ok. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I understand that you are under no obligation to love me even if I was kind to you and we share a lot of the same interests, and I also understand that you are not obligated to give me a reason as to why you don't like me. I'll respect your decision because I actually have respect for you, and that respect is not and never was hingent upon whether or not we would have sex.

A friend who will come to you and mention the plans of an activity they are putting together with other friends, with no intention of actually including you just so they can say they included you in some form and feel like a better friend than they actually are.
Jason: Hey Matt, do you want to come to this party that Jess and some other people are putting together?
Matt: Oh really? Sure! I'd love to go!
Jason: Oh, well wait a minute. I don't think we're gonna have room in the van for you. Maybe next time.
Matt: You're such a Just Because Friend...

When a girl asks to just be friends she really means "you're a jerk who I would never date" or "I don't like you in that way, but I want to be your friend." Either way you got turned down!
"I like you"
"Let's just be friends, k?"
"Let's just be friends, k?"

The relationship between a man and woman when they (usually the woman)decide to not take it beyond the platonic level. A woman's request to be "just good friends" can come as a disappointment to the man, who's ultimate goal is usually to have sex with every woman on Earth.
