What is Let's just be friends?
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.

Let's just be friends - what is it?
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!!!
What does "Let's just be friends" mean?
Don't be fooled by my "friendly" approach to this long-awaited break-up: I don't look forward to seeing you again in the near or distant future.
Your conduct during this "relationship" has been of such an annoying nature that we can never, ever be friends.
Me: "Let's just be friends."
Fool: "Ok. So, what are you doing this weekend?"
Me: "You don't get it, do you?"
Let's just be friends - what does it mean?
What a woman says when she wants to break up with a guy, but wants to feel good about doing so. This is rather disingenuous since she generally has no intention of maintaining a friendship; she knows this will generally take care of itself, however, since few men would accept a friendship with a woman they have a romantic interest in.
For extra douchiness, she can send this as a facebook message rather than confront the guy on the phone or in person.
If she is the guy's coworker, every day that he goes to work and sees her will suck ASS.
Girl: I've been thinking, and I've decided, let's just be friends. I'm sorry; I hope you understand.
Guy: oh.
Girl: I truly hope we can still talk and hang out sometimes. Well, I gotta go; my favorite TV show is on. See ya!
Let's just be friends - meaning
The ultimate put down; what woman say when they want to hear your heart actually break, and enjoy it.
Used when you have just made a drunken fool of yourself explaining your unrequited love to the Office Tease and she wants you to know that your rate lower than thrush, but in a "nice way".
Let's just be friends - definition
You aren't enough of an asshole for me to show interest in you, as I'd rather be treated like shit by men whose IQs rival my shower drain than actually give you the time of day.
You see, if I carefully thought about the things I really want in a relationship (and indeed the very things that I tell you that I want), rest assured you would be off the charts! But I learned at an early age to completely misrepresent everything I really want just to see you writhe in emotional agony, so that I know I have you completely under my power.
So instead of actually pursuing a relationship with you which likely has a great chance of success, I'd rather try to pursue some dick who is lacking even the most basic level of moral decency and whom I could never possibly maintain a friendship with, let alone a serious relationship! But gee, I'd sure like for you to stick around so I can have someone to confide in when he treats me miserably without ever having to actually reciprocate anything you are feeling.
And besides, are you really "feeling" anything in the first place? I thought that men didn't have emotions. Whatever; even if you say you do I'm just going to discredit and invalidate everything you feel because it's clearly less important than my drive to conquer and tame that asshole at the bar who just told me to blow him while his buddy fucks me from behind. What a dick! Although he is kind of cute, his buddy too...
Oh, you're still here?
You: We have just about everything in common, we hang out all the time, I enjoy your company and you admit to enjoying mine; I think we should take things to the next level. Wanna date?
Her: Let's just be friends.
Let's just be friends - slang
This is an age old line, which women use to "gently" let down a man that has shown a romantic interest in her.
Women believe that this is a nice way of saying "No". In reality it is a horrible way, because it isn't honest and it generally doesn't come with any explanation. Any guy with a decent head on his shoulders can see right through this deception.
It is also generally a lie. Women know that it would be extremely uncomfortable for a man that just got shot down to continue to be around them.
It is therefore, a generally safe rejection line, as very few unwanted men will ever respond with:
"Golly Gee, Can I please hang out with you and all your friends, all of whom know about this entire situation?? That sounds wonderful!! I'm sure we will have just the most fun and be the best BFF's ever!!!"
Also, it makes it seem as if the man is a jerk for rejecting this ridiculous "friend" compromise,(when she so nicely offered to keep letting him hang around her and be constantly reminded of what he can't have) and further justifies in the woman's mind her reasons for saying it in the first place!
"Let's just be friends."
or "I am only interested in friendship at the moment."
or "I'm sorry, I'm just not attracted to you."..........
Wait, THAT one would actually be a welcome one! It might actually be honest!
Seen all around the dating world. There is no further example needed. You or someone you know has been affected by this phenomena. Speak to your local sheriff about serving in your community LGBF watch.
Remember, only YOU can prevent forest fires!
