A phrase that if spoken to you means one thing:
The person who said it does not deserve to have you as a friend because they cannot overcome their own ignorance.
Guy: So do you want to go out with me?
Girl: It's a nice thought but I'd rather we were just friends...
(at this point guy starts walking away)
Girl: Where are you going?
Guy: I'm doing you a favour, we both know that I'm better for you than any of your so- called boyfriends- I'm not going to give you the satisfaction of running to me when it falls apart...
(sometime later the girl's boyfriend cheats on her, she learns a lesson, but will go back to dating equally ignorant people)

If anyone ever says this to you, walk away: you deserve better even if it means letting them go...

Good enough to hang out with but not good enough to fuck (usually due to lack of good looks). A step up is friends with benefits which is good enough to fuck but not good enough to date (usually due to lack of social/economic status).
Ahmed: "You get anywhre with that girl? You must! She was alone at your place all night!"

Ping: "Nah, she'd rather be just friends. Said so herself! I did see that she was wearing a green g-string when she reached over for another glass of the Champagne!"

When a girl is too full of shit and shallow to tell you she is disgusted by your sweet and respectful nature and would never be caught dead in public holding hands let alone dating you.
In the park taking a stroll

bimbo: I think you're really sweet, nice, and cute...

guy: *in the back of his mind* sweet I finally found a good looking girl who will go out with me because being a respectful guy finally pays off...

bimbo: ...but we should be just friends.

guy: What the fuck does that mean, so you're saying you would rather be treated like shit rather than with respect?

bimbo: Well no...

guy: *slaps her across the face and calls her a bitch out loud*

bimbo: *jumps onto him and starts making out with him right on the ground like animals*
