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 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.

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. :(

Real meaning: "I'll talk to you for about a day after our break up, but that's it."

You're a great guy and all, but let's just be friends.
