Let's just be friend's

A comment mainly said by women but can also be used by men. Meaning the person you are wanting to be in a relationship with is not ready and or doesn't like you in that way. Such as;

You: I like you, please will you be my insert partner
Them: oh sorry I think we should just be friend's

Sometimes it can be ment in a mean way so people often misunderstand the use of this phrase. But it will mostly be used as a way for a person to be let down without trying to hurt their feelings. Because if it's sincere then a person likes you but maybe not in the way you interpreted it. So what it means;
You: I want to go out with you
Them: let's just be friend's

What it actually means:

You: I have emotion
Them: right now is not a good time
Or

Them: I'm sorry I don't like you in that way

Or

Them: we have clashing personalities so I don't think we would work well being together
Or

Them: I love someone else and am waiting for them
Or

Them: Your my friend I don't want to affect our friendship.

let's be friends

What a woman often says after a man has expressed his true love for her. It's a polite way for a woman to say "I don't like you".
She doesn't want to remain friends -- it's just a throwaway line to make the guy feel a bit better than a piece of shit.
John: Cathy, do you love me as much as I love you?
Cathy: John, let's just be friends.
John: OK, that means I will have to kill myself.
