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.

When a girl says this, it's code for:
1. "I want someone else"
2. "Why should I settle for some gay loser like you who will treat me like a princess when I could have a guy who will treat me like shit, cheat on me after getting me pregnant, and introduce me to all his friends as his personal sperm dumpster?"
3. Both of the above

Nice guy: I love you
Girl: Let's just be friends. I think you're probably gay anyway.
Jerkass guy: Hey bitch, want to let me snort cocaine off your ass after I have a three-way with you and your sister?
Girl: OH BABY, MARRY ME!!!

Sentence used to traditionally, gently let down someone that has an unrequited romantic and/or sexual interest in a friend/acquaintance. If they takes badly to this clearly very polite alternative of "I am not really romantically and/or sexually interested in you, but I still find value in you as a person and I'd like you by my side" (i.e., throws a tantrum, claims ownership or a "debt" for all the "nice things they've done", etc.), they weren't a friend in the first place and only saw your friendship as purely transactional. Run far away and find better friends.
Girl: I'm sorry, but I'd rather we just be friends.
Nice Guy: WOW AFTER EVERYTHING I'VE DONE FOR YOU? YOU FEMOIDS ARE ALL THE SAME, I DESERVE AT LEAST SOMETHING FOR BEING SUCH A NICE GUY
Girl: Wooo, thank you for confirming I dodged a bullet there.
Guy: Let's just be friends.
Nice Girl: HAH AS IF I WASN'T JOKING, I ONLY HANG AROUND YOU OUT OF PITY, YOU'RE FUGLY ANYWAY
Guy: Okay, we won't be friends either.

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.
Guy: Alright, i'm okay with that.

I liked you and enjoyed spending time with you, but now you are creeping me out. You are very possessive of me, stalking me and you won't allow me to talk to any other guy/girl except you. This will never work out and I'm out!
Let's just be friends.

What a girl says when she's not interested in a relationship with you, but just wants to be friends with you. That is literally it. She does not owe you a relationship, or sex, or anything for you being nice to her. You can't bitch and moan about her "going for the douchebags" or going for guys who will "treat her like shit" because that's just you refusing to believe that any woman /dare/ not be interested in you, so you make yourself believe that it must be something wrong with her.
Sorry, but she's just not interested. Either you move on while being friends, or you stop being friends. You can't turn a yes into a no, no matter how much of a "gentleman" you are.

1: Hey, we seem to enjoy being around each other and share some of the same interests. Would you like to go out some time?
2: No thanks, let's just be friends.
1: I respect your decision and will not bitch and moan about how all girls are sluts who only go for guys who treat them like shit, because I can take a rejection without letting it bother me.
2: Wow, you're a normal human being!
2: No thanks, let's just be friends.

A phrase when a girl/guy politely tells you that they don't see you as a romantic partner, but still wants to be friends with you.
If you are angered or feel insulted by this, you really shouldn't be, as it's their personal choice and opinion on who they view as a friend or as a partner and you should just move on as this is one chapter in you life.
Keep your friendship with said person and to not ruin it unless you are one of those "Nice Guy" or "Nice Girl"
