Yikes!!! I Grumble, I can't picture you being boring, and Keeno, 'stealing her time'??? Wow, and I thought I had a busy life!
I might have a selective memory, and possibly 'old timers disease' might occasionally be a good thing, but the only one that's burned into my brain for all time was my ex-husband telling me that 'being married wasn't fun anymore'. That was when we had a 4 year old and a mentally retarded 2 year old, and I was pregnant (in spite of the pill...no such thing as a sure thing). He was right though, it sure wasn't. I have to admit it was kind of fun saying 'no way' to him though, as he kept proposing for ten years after the divorce...very long ago and far away now, but it felt good at the time!

Hmmm...A lot of mixed messages with mine. Keep in mind, all of the following were used in the same conversation. I heard, "I'm still in love with you." "I'm looking for a wife and you're not it." "It'll make me crazy to think of you with other people." "I just need some time, will you wait for me?" "It's not fair of me to expect you to wait for me." " I just can't handle my jealousy anymore".
After being put through that emotional wringer, I think I'd prefer "It's not you, it's me"!

Oh this is good...
How about "I love you...no one every treated as good as you but, I have to go back to him...he said he has changed and has his temper under control."
My favorite -
"You are a really nice guy...but, (fill in the lame excuse)."
and my last relationship (four years worth)-
"Its not you - I do not like your ex-wife." (well Dah! neither do I) but I have to see her sometimes - just to get my kids.

We have a connection...it is not the one you want...so instead, I will try and set aside the sexual side of it...but I think you will find I am not a very "chatty" friend

I have had the following used on me:
I need some space
I am not ready for a committed relationship (after they have said they love me and want to have children with me - I, personally, am not interested in having children)
I love you, I am just not in love with you
Dead silence is another one.
We have to talk - then silence LOL
I went back to my ex-wife for financial reasons
Bottom line, most lines never address whatever the issue really is. In one instance, he was an alcoholic and I was getting in the way of his drinking LOL
I tend to ignore the "line" and look over the relationship to figure out where the problem was - mostly to see if I need to work on me or if the issue was all his.

Wow...memories....I've probably heard them all - personally!
The one that hurt the least was the most direct. Second date...on the way from her door to the car, I made the "mistake" LOL of asking, "So...how are you today?" To which she replied, "Can't you get it through your head that I just don't want to see you anymore?" TOO FUNNY!!!!! The first date was something she desperately wanted to do...I was "used" as her escort for the evening!
The one that hurt the most was an incident as a teen where someone wanted to break up with me but was trying desperately - and I mean sincerely trying - not to hurt my feelings in the process. She was so tactful, so caring in what she said and how she said it, that my respect for her just went through the roof. I was CRAZY about this gal.....but, she wanted to break up! Ah well..... (Oh, BTW, she came back....30 years later, but she came back....sort of......)

this is my favorite line that someone out there may not like:
"I knew you were having fun chatting with a beautiful and sexy Latina but you are stupid enough to figure out it was also Me!"

let's see. I've read a few here that sounded fermiliar.
"I love you as a very good friend"
I'll call, I promise..(Well when damn it?)
I'm trying my hardest to get over there.(ya right)
Saying "I love you" very often and ya,alot.Never even amagining how powerful those 3 words are)
You know I can't commit to a serious relationship,(even when he doesn't want me to seek a new b/f..)what's that all about if it wasn't committed to each other?)
AND my favorite, "We can still be friends, can't we?

I was just dumped with the "I found Jesus" line! Well hey..............I begged him to go to Church with me. He wasn't interested in the "money mongers" in churches.
I was also too emotional. hhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmm This was after his calls slacked off & couldn't be bothered to call me while he had his son for the holiday. When I called & asked if he was seeing someone else I got the scream treatment while he was in Wendy's. Now, when this upset me I was the emotional one in the relationship!
I won't even go into the mixed messages I received from this guy. Just for the record I think he couldn't afford to drive the 120 miles to my house & was too embarrassed to tell me. Although, according to him, all that women want from a man is their money!

"I like you as a friend"
Jesus Christ, have some mercy on me and just hit me in the head with a brick instead.

Hi, I am fairly new the forums and I saw this thread and had to post. I read all the other "lines", and thought I'd like to contribute. A few years ago I was dating this guy from out of state, we dated for about 3 months. I must admit we didn't see each other a whole lot because of distance, but it was agreed that we were in a relationship. He came to stay with me for about 7 days, it was supposed to be 4, but for some reason he wanted to stay longer, which was fine, we seemed to get along. So after 7 days he went back home and I was excited, thinking we might go to the next level here, great! Well I didn't hear from him for about a week, then out of the blue he calls me and after saying Hi he asks me "ARE YOU DATING ANYONE?" I was very confused, as I thought I was dating him. He said he met someone closer to him and they were happy. Where was I during this time??? What just happened? So about 3 months later, after we decided not to see each other again, he called to tell me they were engaged... I thought, thanks for the salt in my wound. Which I got the last laugh as she ripped his heart out...
Then the last guy I dated for 1 1/2 year went overseas on business, I thought things were wonderful between us...for some reason I didn't hear from him for about 8 days, then I got the dreaded e-mail. "I love you very much, but I am just not ready to get married, hope we can still be friends". We didn't even discuss marriage yet. I thought for 1 1/2 years I would at least get a phone call... go figure.
So those are a couple of my experiences on the subject..what a couple of wankers!

Also new to this site and just recently got the axe from a girl that I was truly in love with and ready to settle down and marry.
Here's the back story: Sarah and I started dating right before my senior year of college and her freshman year of college. She was 3 years younger than me and our relationship was long distance (about an hour drive) Despite the distance and age difference, we made it work and had the most amazing relationship ever. We were the envy of all our friends and everyone knew we would get married. I graduated and started working in a town that was only 2 hours away from her. We saw each other every weekend and had a blast every time we were together. We talked about getting married once she was out of school (only a couple years away). Then suddenly one day she gives me the *drum roll*....
"I'm 20 years old and I'm just not ready for this serious of a relationship"
I get this after almost 2 full years together and all the talk of getting married and everything! Shouldn't that line have come about a year and a half earlier when we first started getting serious??? I got no idea. I know it wasn't me. Everyone knew I treated her perfectly and would have done anything to make her happy. Just wasn't enough I guess.

Hey Sciurusniger......your experience sounds similar to mine. I grinned at Doncasto's 'dating jungle'. Heck..the jungle is safer and more true:)
I had no idea this was coming.He said it was just his nerves and to be supportive and cut him some slack... so for two years I did everything his way.I know... that is really sad of how much disrespect I had for myself but hey...I believed him.
Email, not phone or in person and the dump went like this... ' This will come as a relief for you. I have found someone I think the world of and hope it will continue. If you have any decency you will get the hell out of my life and let me be happy. She knows all about my mistake with you and I hadn't met her a few weeks ago when you were down.
One he told me that he just needed time to be a Dad (kids all grown but made it clear I wasn't acceptable). Said he said he just needed space. To find out he wouldn't tell me what was in his head 'because it was a muddle and he didn't know'., but that he could go online and talk to another woman about me and not even tell me why I was getting dumped.To give the impression to his family that we had split so that he could go looking locally, and keeping me as a backup for when he was lonely.
This was a good Christian Lutheran farmer, community member,the trust me I'm not like the internet crap out there. I am stunned that I misread someone so badly. It isn't the so called 'players' who screw people. They are honest and upfront. It is the 'typical nice guys'. Had no idea someone could pretend so well and then find out they were just phasing you out to save their own view of themselves.
I think I prefer the quick fade outs, let's be friends, numbers changed.....
Thank goodness there are awesome guys out there but... how does one know who to believe?

The one I hate most is honesty. I had a guy tell me the truth once and it FMUBT. Completely changed the course of my life because before then I was a confident woman who thought I was plenty good enough for any man.
He said... "You're body's not perfect enough, your face isn't pretty enough and your hair isn't beautiful enough."
We'll call him Shallow Hal.
Of course, after I got married Shallow Hal started crying like a baby at my mom's house saying "I never should have let her go."
