If you’re out there enough, you’ll hear every breakup excuse under the sun. And the truth is that you’re lucky if you find guys who are decent enough to grab a coffee with you, and let you know things are ending. Plenty of men out there just go ghost on a woman—even women they’ve been dating for months. Hey, people have to say something when they want to end things. But the problem with many of the excuses people give when breaking up with somebody is that those excuses can leave the other person with a lot of questions, or a glimmer of hope that they may get back together, or a tremendous amount of insecurities. In reality, if someone ends it with you, it probably just wasn’t the right match. If you’re secure in yourself and happy with how you behaved in the relationship, there wasn’t much more you could do. To that end, here are rejections and breakup excuses that are total lies.

I’m swearing off dating

This guy may claim he’s just been hurt too many times or disappointed by too many women, and even though you two have been out several times now…he’s decided he’s swearing off dating. Often, this guy just knows deep down you’re not the right match. Or, he really likes you, is rather needy, wants you to be his insta-girlfriend, and since he senses you won’t do that, he just rejects you before you reject him. He may be swearing off dating, but you may see that this guy is married in five months.
