Used to draw the "no sex/physical intimacy" boundaries. Generally used for people who have an agreeable personality but no sex appeal. A nice way of saying "I could never get on you."
I know we've been dating a lot, but I just like you as a friend.
this is a phrase used by a girl/boy that you really like who doesn't want to hurt your feelings but does anyway by saying 'yeah i like him..as a friend'.
Bullshit response you get from girls/guys when they reject you after asking them out, only to be left sitting on your couch watching the TV thinking "Wait... That doesn't even make sense..."
"She likes me...
As a friend Shes loves me...
As a friend Shes Crazy about me!!!
As a friend! As a friend!"
Here's the scoop, boys and girls. Women pidgeonhole men into two categories, Friend and Jerk. Men who are chivalrous, polite, sophisticated, etc. are instantly relegated to "Friend" status. Men who treat women like shit are "Jerks."
Women loveFriends but consider them unfuckable because they are not masculine enough. Women hate Jerks because they are asswipes but fuck them anyway. Thus, every woman in the world fucks Jerks and then complains to her Friend about how badly the Jerk treats her.
