Define Lets Just Be Friends Meaning

The default rejection line given to men by women. This line will almost always be followed by no other reason backing it up. When a woman says this, she really means "pleae get out of my face and never talk to me again, and you have a very small penis".

A comment mainly said by women but can also be used by men. Meaning the person you are wanting to be in a relationship with is not ready and or doesn't like you in that way. Such as;

You: I like you, please will you be my insert partner
Them: oh sorry I think we should just be friend's

Sometimes it can be ment in a mean way so people often misunderstand the use of this phrase. But it will mostly be used as a way for a person to be let down without trying to hurt their feelings. Because if it's sincere then a person likes you but maybe not in the way you interpreted it. So what it means;

Let's never have sex

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."

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

Basically the way someone will break up with you if they are trying put it nicely (see euphemism). The word "just" is the word that hurts. It's like saying, "Let's never go further than being friends. Never." Take out the "just" and it doesn't seem so bad, right?

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?

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.

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!

The phrase women use when they want to hear your heart actually break.
Often said after weeks of cock teasing.

For maximum effect, normally said when you think you are just about to get in her knickers but she is just about to walk out and get in a taxi with some better looking, fitter, richer guy, infront of all of you work mates.
