Because it makes it on this list of the most common breakup lines. But I do enjoy his company, so I thought the ever-popular, “Let’s just have fun,” would do the trick. And I can tell he wants something serious, while I just don’t see us meshing well in a full-on relationship. I don’t have a boyfriend, but I have been hanging out with this guy for a few weeks now. I’ve got to admit, I considered using this line just this past weekend. Because this breakup line isn’t typically used for no good reason, it means exactly what it says: you deserve better. If you failed to follow the aforementioned advice the first time, do your best to follow it this time. And my guess is that you know it to be true, too. If your boyfriend or girlfriend uses the, “You deserve better than me,” line during the breakup, chances are they’ve said it before. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever received is, “When people tell you who they are, believe them.” But we don’t usually follow this advice, do we? Instead, we insist we can help or change someone, especially those we love. If you’re in a more casual relationship or you’ve simply gone on a few dates, this line might serve the purpose of reinforcing that loose status. Now, this line can have another meaning, too. Or at least they’re interested in a certain someone(s), so don’t be surprised if you see them out with another guy/gal in the very near future.

I mean, you really have to mention dating other people? If someone makes it a point to say, “I think we should see other people,” during the delivery of a breakup, chances are they’re already seeing other people. In my opinion, this is one of the harshest breakup lines of them all. This break typically lasts for a few weeks (sometimes months) and then the couple either happily reunites or decides to call it quits. If your significant other says, “We need to take a break,” it basically means they want to take a vacation from the relationship. Instead, you’re taking five! From the one you love. You aren’t technically broken up, and you aren’t completely on either. So, what exactly does this mean? It took me awhile to understand, but taking a break quite literally means taking a break from the relationship. Just about every couple I knew took a break at one point or another. In high school, “taking a break” became the new fad, the latest craze. I despise this phrase more than the last. You can communicate your feelings without using these five words. Still, it might be a good idea to avoid using this phrase at all costs. They’re taking blame for the demise of the relationship and there’s truly nothing the other person did to ruin it or could do to save it.

But is it really a tired excuse? While some people may use this line as an easy way out of a relationship, a lot of the time it’s rooted in some truth. So nowadays, when someone is fed this line, they either react with anger or bafflement, and then they demand a real explanation… anything other than this tired excuse. This line actually wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t an overused cliché. The most used-and perhaps most despised-breakup line of them all: it’s not you, it’s me. So, we decided to uncover their meanings for you, should someone ever feed you one of the following lines 1.“It’s not you, it’s me.” It takes some digging to figure out what they truly mean, and you don’t typically have time to do that digging in the heat of a breakup. These phrases are taboo because they’re open to interpretation and very rarely communicate one’s intentions. And as a result, make the whole breaking up thing especially brutal. But that’s not usually how a breakup unfolds, is it? Instead, we use cliché breakup lines. They say to use “I” statements, be considerate of the other individual’s feelings, and most importantly, make your reasoning crystal clear.

Relationship experts recommend being honest, kind, and direct in the delivery of a breakup.
