Is he saying he doesn't feel like he's good enough?

This is what a guy said to me is he saying he does not feel like he is good enough for me? You're not a bad person by any means you deserve to meet someone great unfortunately I’m just not that person I’m sorry. The thing is you want more from me than I can provide so it’s best we go our own separate ways. I won't dismiss the possibility in the future but I need to find my own way right now and I don’t want you to wait on me while I go through this process of my life.

If he says he’s not good enough for you, he probably isn’t.

[PrincessCandyxc]

That is my question is this what he's saying?

[Billlewis]

It may not be as big a problem as it seems. Keep in mind, most guys prefer to be in a relationship in which they can place the woman on a pedestal.

[PrincessCandyxc]

I don't understand how that relates to him maybe feeling like he's not good enough.

[Billlewis]

Many times, we’re speaking hyperbolically when we say things like that; I think it’s similar to saying, ‘I’ve got a million things to do’. That means we have a lot of tasks we have to get done, but a lot less than a million. In other words, we want you to know that we adore you, but hopefully not to an unhealthy degree.

Have you ever noticed that relationships in which the woman likes the guy more than he likes her tend not to last very long? That’s because it generally works much better when the guy is crazy about the woman, because men are so lazy. If we’re not crazy about you, it usually doesn’t work out.

My guess is he is trying to let you down easy by saying he is not good enough for you.

[PrincessCandyxc]

So you're saying he is just trying that and doesn't really mean it? When we first met he told me for awhile he didn't like himself. And recently he told me he has trust issues.

[bowenw]

That was my guess based on what little I knew about him from the question. If he really doesn't like himself, he may truly believe he does not deserve you and you can try to convince him otherwise. He probably needs therapy to help him overcome his trust issues and his dislike for himself.
