Well, since there's a message board for stupid pick up lines, I thought I'd start one for just the opposite. I'll start with, "I need some space." Carry on.

I once told an girlfriend that my ex wanted to get back together and she was crazy. I told her that I was breaking up with her so that my ex didn't come after her for a fight. The girl quickly agreed. Maybe she wanted to break up with me, shrugs. At any rate it worked.

I don't know of any excuses like that! I've never had a boyfriend! But I bet you could find some cool ones by watching soap operas!

Post 4 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 07-Apr-2007 9:51:54

Nem-, I've never heard that one before. Did you just randomly think of that one while you were breaking up with that girl? Here's another one, "It's not you, it's me."

I've never been in a relationship, but the sentament "It's not you, it's me.", is a lie! you bloody well know that it's you!

"i need some time to think about things".

Post 7 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 07-Apr-2007 18:20:02

Oh, God, this one is really stupid. "I think we should see other people."

Post 8 by chelslicious (like it or not, I'm gonna say what I mean. all the time.) on Sunday, 08-Apr-2007 11:56:27

yeah, i can't stand that one. just admit you're unhappy in the relationship. honesty's the best policy.

"I think we're better off as friends" I hate that one, 'cause from my experience you don't end up being friends anyways

That's too bad that being friends afterwords can't work for most. I am still very close to my ex and we are extremely good friends, even more so, ironically enough, then when we were dating. As for lame lines to dump or be dumped with, I haven't got one of those, but I have a good, refusal of a date line. When asked out by a truly moronic and vapid jock I once responded with, "I think, therefore, I am, not in the least attracted to you."

Ouch! lol

Oh, I have to admit I came up with a pretty damn lame one. This one is so shallow it's worthy of a few slappings with a large trout for sure. LOL! See, I knew this young lady I'd met at some gathering of blind folks somewhere and she somehow got the hots for me. I honestly felt at the time I didn't have much in common with her and didn't have those kinds of feelings for her, but me, being some twenty-five years old and very naive about love and many other things, told this young lady that she was too short! Yeah, I'm not kidding! Yeah, I had my particular ideal physical stats in mind at the time, as if I could just order up some gal with the particular specs in mind. I told you I was quite a naive and silly person.

Post 13 by torian princess (The original Blakanadian.) on Monday, 09-Apr-2007 13:18:32

Rofl! I'm so going to use the "I think, there for I am, not in the least attracted to you" line, I love it!

Post 14 by margorp (I've got the gold prolific poster award, now is there a gold cup for me?) on Monday, 09-Apr-2007 13:59:04

One I have gotten is:
"I just give up."

Post 15 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Monday, 09-Apr-2007 20:57:15

Wow, what kind of excuse is that. lol

Post 17 by Rune Knight (Ancient Demon - Darkness will always conquer Light!) on Wednesday, 11-Apr-2007 8:23:58

The "I just give up" phrase a is new one to me. Maybe I should use it once to see what reactions I get, even though I know the outcome won't be pretty. LOL

Well I'd post a phrase but I only had one love and I broke it off with her long ago so the phrase left my memory since then.

"I don't want you to feel like I'm breaking up with you. I just can't be in a relationship with you anymore."

"The sex is great, but I just don't love you."

"I'm going to ask you nicely....LOOSE MY PHONE NUMBER!"


"I wish I had just stayed your friend. "

I'm tired of talking to your navel, mind you, I might get more sense out of it.

Hmmm...what an odd thing to say.

Post 24 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 14-Apr-2007 22:09:57

That is odd. lol

Post 25 by changedheart421 (I've now got the bronze prolific poster award! now going for the silver award!) on Sunday, 22-Apr-2007 13:05:48

my dumb reason was that you spendn to much time with your mom.

Post 26 by Miss Gorgeous (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Monday, 30-Apr-2007 18:47:50

another excuse for breaking up "Your too far away, your not close enough to be right there next to me. it's really not working out between us. We need to cool off for now." This would work

Post 27 by sea star (I just keep on posting!) on Friday, 06-Jul-2007 2:34:52

I'b gotten that excuse before too far away it really sucks because that just shows that the other person doesn't want to eben try to work things oute

Post 28 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Friday, 06-Jul-2007 8:36:34

Spending too much time with your mom? wow ...

Post 29 by Nem (I just keep on posting!) on Saturday, 07-Jul-2007 13:02:19

My girlfriend is a psycho jealous person. I can't continue to see you because I think she might hurt you.I used this once to great effect.

Ok. I don't have a stupid excuse for breaking up, but I have one that lead to me breaking up with this guy. You spend more time with ur female friends than u do with your own boyfriend. It makes me want to question your sexuality.

Post 31 by Winterfresh (This is who I am, an what I am about. If you don't like it, too damn bad!!!) on Sunday, 08-Jul-2007 0:20:19

Here's a really blunt and mean way to break up with someone. Someone has actually used this one on me. We're done.

Post 32 by Squeak (rythmic banging expert!!!) on Wednesday, 11-Jul-2007 2:09:25

"IthoughtI was in love with you but I found someone else that is more of my type"

"after dating you for a while, I see that you are just not my type."

Post 33 by SFAIdol (the Zone BBS remains forever my home page) on Saturday, 12-Jan-2008 14:52:27

My ex-boyfriend had a really stupid excuse for breaking up with me. He told me it was because I wouldn't answer my cell phone! Ok, first of all, I was busy doing stuff, and second of all, he didn't leave me voice mails half the time, and I did not fall for this excuse because there was more that he wanted out of me. He thought I was cheating on him with another guy, and that's y I didn't answer my phone, according to him. Uh, yeah right, I wouldn've done that to him!

Post 34 by King Reeses (King of all Peanut Butter) on Saturday, 12-Jan-2008 20:41:22

Now there is one silent break up line I hate is when a girl or guy depending on who wants to break up I hate it when the dumper just ignores the dumpee without letting them know it's over that's the worst even though it's not a verbal break up line.

Post 35 by Cousin Cap (Zone BBS Addict) on Tuesday, 04-Mar-2008 19:49:56

My friends don't like you, so I'm cutting off contact with you.

Post 36 by Damia (I'm oppinionated deal with it.) on Thursday, 13-Mar-2008 16:03:24

One I got is I decided that it's not the time to be with you.
One i used on someone was
"Well God told me that It's not time for me to be in a relationship so I think we should be friends again." More like your parrents are sweet but too ojver protective and you had to stop dancing with me befcause you were afraid to kiss me, and this is going nowhere because you don't know what you're doing with yorself. Mind you about 3 months later hhe told me I was going to have his children and live in either Scottland or Canada, and that he would only do work to take care of the boys sometimes, but the household and the children would be my responcibility because I am the womand and do what the man says. This was a sighty surprisingly.

Post 37 by Thunderstorm (HotIndian!) on Saturday, 15-Mar-2008 9:57:13

I don't agree with that "my friends don't like you" so I don't like you too. whether you are living with her or your friends? hmmmmm?

Post 38 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Saturday, 15-Mar-2008 13:32:51

As for someone telling me that it's my job to take care of the house and children because I'm a woman, that's fucked up!

Post 39 by Dubstep1984 (I just keep on posting!) on Wednesday, 19-Mar-2008 16:05:19

very much so. that is really fucked up.

Post 40 by Svenja (don't need any!) on Tuesday, 25-Mar-2008 12:56:01

That one my exboyfriend used to tell me:
I havn't got another coice then to break up with you

Post 42 by maroon five (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Sunday, 20-Apr-2008 22:46:46

some people are really fucked in the head. the one i found really a sad perthetic excuse for a break up was, "i get the feeling you like someone else" funny thing was, that it wasn't me who liked someone else, it was him.

Post 43 by audioadict (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Thursday, 26-Jun-2008 4:53:25

This guy by the name of brandon misch broke up with me because we didn't talk on skype all that often. We talked on the phone, messenger, and even skype chat. All he wanted was to voice chat with me. I couldn't do that because my parents don't believe in skype. I told him this time and time again, but no luck. How stupid!

Post 44 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Friday, 27-Jun-2008 2:31:41

"My parents don't believei n Skype." if they've only seen how it works ... sheesh!

Post 45 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Friday, 27-Jun-2008 9:28:09

any excuse or reason, that isn't totaly avoidable is stupid. If you truely love each other, you can work through anything

Post 46 by audioadict (I'm going for the prolific poster awards!) on Saturday, 28-Jun-2008 19:36:41

Yeh. If you were a real boyfriend, you'd be able to work around situations. I'm glad he broke up with me, because he was always bugging me about skype, and I felt that that was quite enough

Post 47 by moyzey (i'm posting? huh?) on Sunday, 29-Jun-2008 9:11:33

but at 21, why are your parents still not letting you make your own choices about skype?

Agreed, Andy.

My x boyfriend Jason and I got in a fight and almost broke upbecause he thought we were too far away. He didn't think online relationships were enough.

Post 50 by Reyami (I've broken five thousand! any more awards going?) on Tuesday, 31-Mar-2009 11:32:47

that's his problem, not yours. It takes dedication, communicationm, and honesty from both partners in an any relationship, online or not, to make things work.

Post 51 by CrazedMidget (Sweet fantacy's really do come in small packages!) on Wednesday, 01-Apr-2009 13:38:25

my x randomly broke up with me and said that his parents were fighting and he didn't want me involved

Post 52 by The Elemental Dragon (queen of dragons) on Sunday, 05-Apr-2009 14:21:49

the line I used on a friend, well, neither of us were dating but she wanted to, I told her, you're over there, I'm over here, so logically it would never work. I'm trying to make a life for myself. she wanted to have me and her husband, she would be married to the husband and I would just be well there. uh, ok, this girl is fucked in the head.

The one that gets on my nerves is not even a line at all. They just don't contact you anymore.

These are just excuses that I have heard over the years about and from different people so here you go!
I can't be with you because you are totally blind and can't drive.
Your culture is different than mine,
I can't be with you because I don't have time.
I can't be with you, but you are still a nice person.
Does it all make any sense? Not to me!
