When a girl wants to "just be friends", here is what it means.

When two people of the opposite sex hang out together, and are just friends (9 times out of 10, it is the guy who likes the girl, and she just wants to be friends), often it is a sign that they want to be your friend, because they think you are nice and all, but they find you physically unattractive.

That is what it means. Have you ever seen a girl ask some hunky, muscular guy with bedroom eyes, and dimples, to just be "friends". Does a girl just ask to be friends with "the captain of the football team". No.

It is a signal saying "You are nice enough to hang around, and it beats being lonely, but it can't be more, because I can't look at that head across the breakfast table for the next forty years. You are a convenience, a stopgap, until she finds someone who she REALLY wants to go out with.

I heard a woman say one time that "Guys are into looks, and have one thing on their mind when they hang around with a woman. But woman look deeper, at a guy's character".

*beep* Women are as shallow as men, but the difference is, men admit it, whereas many women pretend that it isn't all-important, as they don't want to look shallow, it gives them something to condemn men over, and it allows them to pick and choose who they can best control in a relationship.

Here is an example. Every girl in my class at college had a boyfriend, but not one of them, NOT ONE, was going out with a guy in my class, who they see every day.

One of the guys really liked one of the girls in our class. They studied together, and even went to the movies. He wanted more, but she said that she wants to get to know him better. Yet, she got a new boyfriend, some guy she met at a bar two weeks previously, who rode a motorcycle.

So, this girl wanted to "get to know better" a guy she sees every day in class, went to the movies with, and studied with, and yet didn't need to "get to know better" some random stranger she met at a bar. Right there, you get an indication where this guy stood in this girl's view of the world.
