The default rejection line given to men by women. This line will almost always be followed by no other reason backing it up. When a woman says this, she really means "pleae get out of my face and never talk to me again, and you have a very small penis".
That new girl told Xioni she just wants to be friends, she must smoke crack.

The ultimate put down; what woman say when they want to hear your heart actually break, and enjoy it.
Used when you have just made a drunken fool of yourself explaining your unrequited love to the Office Tease and she wants you to know that your rate lower than thrush, but in a "nice way".

What a woman says when she wants to break up with a guy, but wants to feel good about doing so. This is rather disingenuous since she generally has no intention of maintaining a friendship; she knows this will generally take care of itself, however, since few men would accept a friendship with a woman they have a romantic interest in.

For extra douchiness, she can send this as a facebook message rather than confront the guy on the phone or in person.

If she is the guy's coworker, every day that he goes to work and sees her will suck ASS.
Girl: I've been thinking, and I've decided, let's just be friends. I'm sorry; I hope you understand.

Guy: oh. <awkward silence>

Girl: I truly hope we can still talk and hang out sometimes. Well, I gotta go; my favorite TV show is on. See ya!

Don't be fooled by my "friendly" approach to this long-awaited break-up: I don't look forward to seeing you again in the near or distant future.
Your conduct during this "relationship" has been of such an annoying nature that we can never, ever be friends.
Me: "Let's just be friends."
Fool: "Ok. So, what are you doing this weekend?"
Me: "You don't get it, do you?"

I do like you as a person, but I don't want to give you "credit" for being strong and confident, which you aren't, so I will call you "friend" just so that I won't have to give you a credit by calling you "boyfriend"
"You are a really great guy, but I want someone more confident for a boyfriend. Lets just be friends, okay"

its a phenomena where the girl you have feelings for, strips you down to the lowest form in the chain of life, and then either gets with your friend or someone whose lesser than you. this situation is almost the closest thing to a black hole, once your in it, unless you act swiftly you will never have a chance to get out.
but this is how you get out the friend zone:
0. she tells you, Lets just be friends
1. your probably not in shape, go the the gym
2. hang out with her, dont call her, let her call you. dont bring up at all how you feel when you do.
3. if she's with another guy, make friends with him. study him like a cavemen.
4. find a different girl, let her know your not desperate. get some and tell her about it. because most girls "guy friends" have to listen about their bs, you bs right back about your relationship to her.
5. when she relizes her bf is a dick and cheated on her, you tell her how much better you would of been if you had a chance.
6. break it off your ur current girl, and go for the girl of your dreams.
7. have crazy sex, and tell her that it could of been easier if she just gave u a chance the first time.

this wont happen over night, give it 3-6 months
