Let's just be friend's

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;

You: I want to go out with you
Them: let's just be friend's

What it actually means:

You: I have emotion
Them: right now is not a good time
Or

Them: I'm sorry I don't like you in that way

Or

Them: we have clashing personalities so I don't think we would work well being together
Or

Them: I love someone else and am waiting for them
Or

Them: Your my friend I don't want to affect our friendship.

Let me cook

Let me do my thing or give me time to.

Person 1: You take so long to get ready.
Person 2: Let me cook.

Or maybe a more general way of using it would be things starting to come your way. The phrase ‘let me cook’ could be used as you’re telling everyone let me do my thing give me time and you’ll see.
