Break Up Lines
Ok, so you have those cheesy pick up lines that we love sharing with our friends... but what about worst break up lines. The ones that make you think that there is a website and that your significant other sat down, looked online and found something that was so convoluted that at the time you just think okay and then later you realize how dumb and pointless the line really is.
I was talking to my sister tonight about this because my most recent "break up" was due to this guy (20 year old) who is still in love with his hookup/ gf (36 year old). Classic "It's not you. It's me." Really? Can we get a little more creative? My sister's favorite was "I'd be jealous of whatever guy you date." Um hello, you were that guy!
So let's hear it! Worst break up lines you've ever heard!

I just want to be friends.
I actually got this one once: You remind me of my friend KEVIN (I am a girl) and every time I look at your face, I will see him.
I don't want anything serious right now.
Can we still have sex and just not be together?
I want to see other people.
I don't look at you as a girlfriend I look at you as a friend.
I am gay. (Got this one too! he changed teams mid-relationship)
@beebeak@xanga - hah! that gay one must've been rough lol
mine was "we're not the same religion, so we'll never get married, so we'd better just break it off now." <-- ok but that was after 3 months... you knew we werent the same religion when we met? and who's thinking about marriage after 3 months?? lol that was just weird.
When I was a senior in HS, my boyfriend IMed me & said he wasnt mature enough for a relationship & he didnt think it would work out. Then later on he IMs me asking if I was ok. He did it out of convenience because I was moving & then years later he says it was the truth. That's fine with me now. I was upset then but now that I'm older & wiser, I'm glad I didnt stay with someone who was so immature & selfish, he couldnt even tell me his reason face to face.
No break up lines at all. Hes just gone with the wind. True story.
My ex always liked to be the one who got the pity. He'd been lying to me dozens and dozens of times about what he did with this one girl until I finally told him that he was an asshole. Then he told me "I can't date someone who thinks I'm an asshole."
Hello?! Maybe I can't date people who ARE assholes.
I hate when people try to act like they're the ones who are dumping you when really you were already rejecting them for shitty behavior.
@beebeak@xanga - Ouch with the gay one...
That must have suck... But I guess we can't really fault the guy for just realizing now..
I've only been dumped once and it was by a two week long fling, lol. The guy wasn't over his ex and he wanted to try making it work with her again. So I'm not sure if that really counts, but I've used some pretty lame ones myself:
I don't want to do long distance and I want to focus on school. <--- I wasn't moving for another year.
I don't think we're really ready to get married, lets call of the engagement for now. Actually, lets just be friends. <--- There was someone else.
You're like a brother. <--- I admit, that one was low.
@gatorgirl54@xanga - Good grief. I would have been very upset.
The worst one that I got was: "we can't be together because my parents don't like hispanics. They say they're not a good influence". Seriously. That totally happened.
It left me wondering. Oh my god. Did that just go down like that?
Yes. Yes it did.
"you are such an amazing girl, and i wish you wouldn't cut me out of your life completely"
then don't break up with me, idiot
i told him i would if i possibly could!
The last guy that dumped me (after a year long relationship) text and said 'this just isn't working for me anymore'. That was all I got. I asked him why and he text back 'for a reason I can't put my finger on'.
I also got:
'you are a wonderful person and you deserve better than me'...yeah he was right about that!
I think what people say when they are breaking up with someone is just complete rubbish most of the time.
I don't deserve you.
I am not ready for something serious, we are too young.
I can't be in a relationship right now.
I can't be with anyone at all right now.
It's not you, it's me.
I am artistically stifled.
The best is when she said to me "I still love you, but we can't be together. I value how close we still are with out the title." blow me!
Those were all from the same person. Less than a few weeks later this person was sleeping with the person she cheated on me with, then less than a month later, they were dating. I hope she treats her like crap, just like she treated me like crap.
"You're a keeper, and I love you, and I don't want to lose you from my life, and I still want to be friends, but I need this for some reason." And then he proceeded to tell me how jealous he'd be to ever see me with everyone else... I was kind of going the direction he'd always be the other guy but whatever. I'm better off.
I got the "It's not you. It's me" line as well as "I still want to be friends." It's unfortunate that as much as I did want to stay friends with my recent ex, we rarely talk anymore.
All mine were "Let's take a break" and one was "There's someone else". Well I appreciate the honesty I can take heartbreak. I hate when people just avoid honesty just so feelings won't get hurt. I'd rather hear it upfront that she isn't interested anymore. That's the truth behind relationships breaking up.
How about:
"I think of you more of a sister/brother"- wow, were you thinking that when we were having sex for the past year? So you're telling me you don't mind screwing a sibling? Ewww
"I'm moving and can't handle a long distance relationship"- I didn't realize New Jersey was that far away from NYC...
i got "i don't want to bring you down to the level i'm at as a person" and then he proceeded to tell me he was being tracked down by "bad men" and didn't want to put my life in danger.......yeah that was a lie...
On two different occasions I just got ignored. No break up, just the calls stopped and they avoided me.
@Utoppia - "you're telling me you don't mind screwing a sibling? Ewww"
HAHAHAHAH!!!!!!
haha i've used the "it's not you , it's me. i'm just not feeling it anymore, im rly sorry" & something along the lines of "taking a break" aaaah :P but i thought i rly meant the "it's not you, it's me" one , or what tat just low ?
i've gotten : "if we're gna break up in the future. let's just break up now"
@Utoppia - Yeahh, that's just sad. I lived in OH and dated someone from NJ for years long distance. I live with him now but. God I WISH he was close to me as NYC was to him. -_-
Hmm. I've always done the dumping. I drunkenly got into a relationship once and spent a few weeks trying to get out of it. I just said "I have a lot going on in my life right now, we need a break." and then never resumed the relationship. It was low but I don't like hurting people.
In my most recent relationship I've tried to make him 'go away' a few times. One time I was feeling rather low about myself after a huge fallout and told him that he deserved better. And he said, 'maybe right now I do, but you're the only person I will ever want like this. I want the Rachael that I love back.' He wouldn't let me let go, and we worked through the problem and are still together.
Hm. Interesting lines!
My favorite post break up still looking for ass line is, and probably will always be:
me: "Look, I don't want any messy attachments."
him: "Then don't make it messy." :wink, starts trying to kiss me:
ugh.
The best reason I've probably given someone when breaking up with them was that I was still in love with my ex who I was still sleeping with while dating the guy I broke up with.
Other than that, I've been dumped via the no contact method after the guy I was dating thought I was pregnant. That was pretty low in my opinion.
She gave me an excuse that her parents didn't want us dating... I automatically knew she was fucking lying. I love people who don't know how to lie. And fail at making believable break up lines.. Oi.
"It's all my fault. I need to go win her back." (Speaking of his ex.) That by itself is not a horrible line. He was being honest about what he wanted or felt he needed to do. The next part was the fail.
He continued: "If I can't win her back in a few months, maybe you and I could get back together."
He and I hadn't even dated for three weeks and he was wanting me to wait around for him? Yeah, right. Luckily, his short-lived relationship with me inadvertently spurred another guy to get the courage and motivation to ask me out so he wouldn't "miss his chance" again. So, I kind of owe it to the silly ex that I ended up marrying that wonderful guy, who would never put me as his second choice.
I think it's so ridiculous when someone is like basically like, "Hey, I'm choosing this other person over you and now I'm off to go win them over, but if they won't take me and I fail, you can be my backup main squeeze, right? Just planning ahead, you know. Because you're better than nothing." Have a little respect!
@endlesscrowd@xanga - "I am artistically stifled"? That's extremely lame.
