Sometimes when running into a guy who is a general Nice Guy or someone with Nice Guy Syndrome it's good to put them down gently with the phrase "Let's Just Be Friends". it signifies that at a girl or boy feels little to no attraction towards the guy or girl that has been pining for them for a date.

Most often this leads to the friendzone and if you don't mind being just friends that's perfectly okay, but if you are creepy you might never be talked to again.
"Hey Jenny, want to date me?"

"Sorry Chad, I just don't feel that way about you, Let's Just Be Friends"

A polite way of saying "you're honestly terrifying and I'm worried a more direct rejection will cause you to break into my house and murder me in the night."

People on the receiving end of this phrase are expected to simply grow up and take the rejection like reasonable adults instead of whining like small children over the internet.
Person A: I like you.
Person B: I'm sorry, lets just be friends.
Person A: Oh ok. I can't say I'm not disappointed, but I understand that you are under no obligation to love me even if I was kind to you and we share a lot of the same interests, and I also understand that you are not obligated to give me a reason as to why you don't like me. I'll respect your decision because I actually have respect for you, and that respect is not and never was hingent upon whether or not we would have sex.

When a girl asks to just be friends she really means "you're a jerk who I would never date" or "I don't like you in that way, but I want to be your friend." Either way you got turned down!

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"
