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.

Let's be friends

When a guy & a girl are usually in the talking or dating stage of a relationship and the guy tries to kiss her, but it sucks. She doesn't want to be mean because she didn't like the kiss, so she tells him that they should just be friends.

OR: The guy or girl really likes the other, but they know that the other is a freak with lots of people.

Syn: sluts, man slut

Let's be Friends

A commonplace phrase of the word, which has many different meanings, but the most used is when someone wishes to politely ask you to leave or avoid them altogether.

Person of interest: Hey, I kinda like you, and was hoping we could hang out!

You: Oh, no thanks! Let's be friends instead!

Let's just be friends

What a girl says to you when she'd rather be with an asshole who will use her, abuse her, and eventually break her heart, even though she knows that you would never do those things to her.

When a girl says to you, "let's just be friends", that's like your mom telling you, "the dog died, but you can still keep it if you want to."

You: I love you! :)
Wench: Let's just be friends..
You: Gee thanks, couldn't you have pushed me off a two-story building, or shot me? It would have hurt less. :(
