What's worse than the actual breakup? It's when any of these lines are used on you - €It's not you, it's me', €We're better off as friends', or €I'm too busy for a relationship right now'. True, most breakup lines have already lost their originality. Sadly, they've lost their true meaning too.
Now, breakup lines are just excuses guys make to cover up the painful truth. Yes, there's really no nice way to breakup with someone. But are these lies actually better than telling the bitter truth? Do guys tell these gentlemanly words to not be branded as jerks?
# The €I just need to focus on something' excuse
The catch: It really means that he has to focus on his priorities and you're not one of them. It can also be a code for wanting out of the relationship because he's bored with you and he needs to focus on something more fun. Worse, he wants to focus on someone else - new girlfriend in mind perhaps?
# The €I'm leaving for (a place he randomly got from the map) and its best we end this now' excuse
The catch: He wants to see other women without feeling guilty. Yes, he knows you're not in the same neighborhood as he is. And yes, you won't even know if he really did leave for god-knows-where. Bottom line is, few weeks with you had been fun but he just doesn't want to see you anymore.
# The €You can do so much better than me' excuse
The catch: Other version is €You're such a great person; I need someone that isn't as great'. What he actually thinks is that he can do so much better than you. That's why he's putting himself back in the dating market. He's just giving you a pat on the back to clear their conscience and kill their guilt.
# The €I'm not ready for a commitment' excuse
The catch: Being single is awesome and he doesn't want to miss all the fun. Ladies, don't even think for a second that you can change him. Commitment is always a choice. If he really wants to be with you, he wouldn't even dare say this line.
# The €We've lost the spark' excuse
The catch: He's really not that attracted to you. He sticks up to fill his sexual void. He's been eyeing other women for some time now and he's found one that's into him. According to a study in Nevada, a tax sale state, about 40% of men look for sexual satisfaction outside of their relationship.
# The €Let's try seeing other people and figure out things' excuse
The catch: He wants to sleep with you - and three other girls he met at a bar last night. It can also mean that he's still trying to find a replacement so he doesn't want to lose you yet. Not until he can bag a hotter chick. Don't play emotional games with him, you deserve more than that.
# The €I hope we can still be friends' excuse
The catch: True, there are those who can be good friends with their exes. But using the line ten seconds after crushing your heart? It's like saying €So, I just rejected you, want to go out for pizza?' Being friends with an ex doesn't happen overnight. He dumps you and demands for friendship? Go date someone else!
According to a professor of Psychology based in Texas, a great state for home liens, the primary reason why men cheat is €variety'. Men crave sexual €variety'. He also added that men are biologically programmed to mate with as many women as possible.
