What does it mean after you have become lovers? After you've done the dirty a few times?

Is it a too polite way of saying I never want to see you again? Is she saying I'd like to keep you around if I can't find a better guy? Is she saying I want you around as one of my girl friends (with a penis)?
I know there are many things it could mean. I would like to know the general consensus.

I'm looking mainly to women to answer this question. But of course it's open to all

It means "I want you to be around if I need you to talk to, give me money, or move something heavy. But no sex, ever."

I think it could be any of these. The bad news is she obviously doesn't see you as a boyfriend. The good news is this is not the same as being stuck in the infamous "friend zone". I have found once you've been intimate with a woman it's possible that door stays open indefinitely (bad pun not intended).

The one time I was in a sexual relationship like this we really did not socialize outside much except to meet for a drink beforehand just the two of us. If you don't have an ego or a control issue with this, it can really be quite fun and uncomplicated. I never saw her friends anymore and she didn't see my friends.

I'm not saying this is what she wants, but if you play your cards right this might be possible.

I did that. But I'm wondering what she was thinking when she dropped that bomb. Again, was she very politely trying to say she does not want to see me ever again? Did she want to keep me around but not as a lover? I never spent large money on her, nor did I ever buy expensive gifts. This happened a lifetime ago in a different city, but occasionally I think of what might have been.

What does it mean if it is a man who says it to a woman?
Never happens.
I remember as a teen one of the girls I knew told me a different girl really liked me. I guess the girl who really liked me was trying to tell me by proxy, any advances I made towards her would be welcome. I wasn't crazy over this girl, so as best as I can remember, I thanked the messenger for forwarding the message, and that was it. I don't think the term friend zone was around back then. I don't remember anyone ever using it.

But now it's time to get back on track (not hijack).

That's absolutely untrue. I've relegated women into being only Friends or the "Friend Zone". It drives them absolutely ape shit crazy. I didn't do it for that reason though. I was just not interested in any sort of relationship anymore.

If a woman says it to a man and the man is sexually interested in her, the reply should be: "Thanks, I already have enough friends. I'm not interested in friendship".

Then walk away.

It means you need to hire an escort that’s hotter than her and make sure you take her to dinner so the old gal can see you “moving on”.

That will change her mind.

Then again, if she’s a flake why would you want to stay “friends”? You aren’t her servant boy.

Rules that apply to mere mortals do not apply to Don Draper.

It is the prologue for break up.
True. The first time I heard a woman said that to me was when I was 17 or 18, and I tell you, it really really hurt.
I interpreted it as a break up proposal. We became friends meaning we started going out as a group, no holding hands, no kissing.
But I moved on and she did to. She now has a husband and two kids.
We're still friends!
