Let's just be friends 

The meaning of "let's just be friends" is a phrase used to show that they don't view your relationship in a romantic way, it doesn't that they just wanna leave you for a asshole because that is not the case if you think that..... Shut the fuck up and stop thinking that every girl or guy you like is gonna like you and get into your pants because guess what life isn't fair so please don't keep thinking that us girls or guys say "Let's just be friends" are saying that because they just want to lead you on. No shut up and get some help and respect people's requests and stop worrying about your own thank you.
Guy or girl: "Hey I really like you and I think we should be together in a romantic way"

Guy or girl:" I'm sorry but I don't feel that same way but I really value our friendship so let's just be friends if that's okay" (sorry if it the sentence isn't correct)

A decent human being response: "I understand and I would be okay if we we're still friends or I respect you're decision and I understand."

A no person just please don't be like this person: "oh so you're not gonna accept me a good guy or girl who will treat you right and give you everything instead you'll leave me for a person who will treat you terrible and...." you already know where this is going

Let’s just be friends 

The term let’s just be friends is a term meant for turning down a romantic advance. The term CAN be used by both sexes, and does not mean that you are a NiceGuy™️ Or NiceGirl™️. It only means that they are not romantically or sexually interested in you.
Man: I really like you, maybe we can get a coffee sometime soon.
Woman: Let’s just be friends
OR
Woman: I really like you, let’s go out somewhere

Man: let’s just be friends

Let’s just be friends 

A statement used by people who are not interested in getting into a relationship with the person proposing to hook up. This statement is NOT gender specific and is just one of the polite ways of saying ‘no’. However, ‘let’s just be friends’ is always taken with a grain of salt by “nice guys” and “nice girls” who, after offering to still be friends, become overwhelmed with frustration after being “shut down”.

Many people with little to no social skills will bash you for using this term as a way of rejection, but that’s ok, because “let’s just be friends” can be used to help you, man or woman, root out someone who could’ve potentially been abusive, controlling, and/ or manipulative toward you. You’d be saving yourself from getting hurt if you use “let’s just be friends”... or, you’d let a good friend know that you don’t think it’s the best decision, and they respect you for your choice.
What happens when you use this statement-

Human 1: hey, I really like you and I think we should be more than friends?

Human 2: I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same way and I think we should just be friends. ( let’s just be friends )

Human 1: wow ok whore bitch I was just trying to be nice you didn’t have to shoot me down like that have fun finding someone as good looking and nice to you as me!!

What SHOULD happen when you use this statement -

Human 1: hey, I really like you and I think we should be more than friends?

Human 2: I’m sorry, I don’t feel the same way and I think we should just be friends.

Human 1: ahh, okay, I understand.
(This is all Human 1 says, and they completely accept the rejection because they value Human 2 as a PERSON and being someone who legit CARES about them AS ANOTHER HUMAN BEING and not an OBJECT. Human 1 and Human 2 still talk to eachother and are happy being FRIENDS.)

———

Everyone, please, if you really love and care about the other person, but they don’t feel the same spark that you do, don’t hurt them. Don’t talk down to them. If you truly care, you wouldn’t value their body, and instead respect their boundaries and continue being there for them. Because you love them. Because you care.
You genuinely care.

let's-just-be-friends 

A phrase used mainly to end a relationship. Once this is said, you will most likely never have contact with the other person despite the meaning of what was said.
Girl: I think we should break up, let's-just-be-friends.
Guy: Alright, i'm okay with that.
*2 months later*
Friend: Have you heard from -- lately?
Guy: Dude we haven't talked since we broke up.
Friend: Didn't she say she wanted to stay friends?
Guy: I guess not, no one ever actually means that.

Let’s just be friends 

A phrase that is commonly misunderstood by the nice guys. It means exactly what it says, but just incase you don’t understand I’ll dumb it down for you:
The girl who says this isn’t interested, not because she wants to be with an asshole but because she genuinely isn’t interested in you.

An example of such an interaction using this phrase:
Nice guy: m’lady, I am in love with you.

Girl: sorry, let’s just be friends

Nice guy: fine then, go for another man who will beat and abuse you, I can’t wait until you come back to me all beaten and bloody, cos that’s what other men will do to you. I would never do anything to hurt you if you said yes.
