means you can buy me things, put up with my bullshit, but you ain't getting laid.

Oh Steve, I just think of you as a friend, not someone I'd fuck or want to see naked.

as a friend

The three words that let you know that your (near) intimate relationship has come to an end. Usually delivered from female to male, it is the defining phrase that lets the "dropped" individual finally know that it is OVER.

Donna told him gently, "Dave, you know that I have always been very fond of you; but, now, I want to continue our relationship as just a friend."

Used to "soften the blow" when you're about to be frank with someone about their lesser qualities, or when giving advice they might not want to hear.

"I'm telling you as a friend: If you're going on a date, you should take her out to to a restaurant, because your cooking really stinks."

"I'm telling you as a friend, you really shouldn't be drinking that much! I'm worried about you!"

Used to draw the "no sex/physical intimacy" boundaries. Generally used for people who have an agreeable personality but no sex appeal. A nice way of saying "I could never get on you."

I know we've been dating a lot, but I just like you as a friend.

Used by someone who opts out of offered intimacy when they don't fancy you.

"I'll go out for a drink with you but as a friend."

Should be countered with

"But couldn't I just shag you as a friend?"
