I was once dating a guy significantly better than me - much smarter, financially better and just a nearly-perfect human. I genuinely felt he deserved better and I ended the relationship because it was taking a toll on my self esteem - not that he was making me feel inadequate but I was constantly pushing myself to keep up and wondering if I will ever be enough. I did not say “you will find someone better” but did feel that deep down. I felt lighter after that relationship ended even though I liked him a lot and missed him.
so it could be real or it could be just being nice in rejecting or the person may have real self esteem issues even outside the relationship and expecting the boyfriend to respond with “you are the best thing that happened to me” - which in my opinion drama.
For someone with dignity and self respect, someone self made, getting much more than they can give may not always resonate well.. it’s not really as logical. :)
Usually she's aware about her current circumstances (crazy school/job, still misses her ex, hooking up with others, dealing with emotional regulation, mentally stressed out etc) that are reasons why she's not the best candidate for him. It's not that she's a bad person, but there are just obstacles she doesn't intend on 'dealing with' because he's not the right guy to make her want to change her lifestyle.
Most Women are happy to 'get out of the way' if they're a mess and have no intention of entertaining someone romantically or sexually.
I don't think I've said that to a guy before but I've always thought it. That I'm not good enough for a guy and he's too good for me. I've been though some shit as a kid and never really worked through it so often feel like I'm broken compared to guys with more of a normal childhood upbringing.
It's a really bad habit but I've been doing it so much that even in the beginning stage of a relationship I blush over the simplist of things, like holding hands, a kiss on a cheek, having a dance together without being gropped, holding the door open for me. All the little things that I don't really expect all that much, especially from the guys I tend to date.
It could be because they don’t want to be with you but they still think you deserve someone wonderful. They may think you should be with someone who genuinely loves, and they can’t be that someone for you. Or they just feel inferior and aren’t capable of a healthy relationship with you.
A guy said this to me.
I was devastated. Many people told me it’s to soften the blow of the rejection. “It’s not me it’s you” kind of thing.
Another possibility is it’s their self esteem issue. They are not brave enough to accept the love. They think that they are not good enough so in the end it will fail because of their inadequacy.
Maybe she's being honest. I wish more guys were, rather than just continuing to take advantage of a girl when they know they shouldn't be in any kind of relationship. Women tend to be more self reflective and aware of themselves and any shitty behavior and so they're able to say no.
Woah, she doesn’t actually mean it! She is just trying to get you out of her life with as little pain possible! Sort of cushion the blow, and maybe avoid a future stalker!
Shit I will never say that lol. I dont know why those girls say that but its weird. I wouldn't be in a relationship with a man I am know I am not going to marry.
I have told some guys that and it was just my way of saying I didn’t feel we were compatible as I thought they would be less likely to argue with me.
Wait. You're getting pissy a woman is bring honest enough to say "no, I don't think marriage to this dude Is a good idea'.
Are you expecting women should just say yes to the first male to ask?
A few things they don’t feel like they deserve you. There are not where they want to be in life.
They didn’t love you the way you do to them.
They either feel that they are getting more than they deserve it don't want to hurt his feelings.
