    "You're too young for me. I mean, too *old*. We're the same age? Well, that doesn't work for me, either. Sorry."

    i pretended to get a phone call from my dad, claiming that my mother had had a heart attack and i was to come home immediately. wasn't going out with the girl, i just went on 'a date', and her pics were...flattering.

    every time she texted me to meet up afterwards, i claimed i had to look after my mother..

    When I was 14 I broke it off with a girl cause she wouldn't french kiss.

    So I told her that, I wasn't allowed to be friends with anyone from her estate anymore :p

    We got back together though as I heard she french kissed a guy at the Scout Den disco and rumour had it, she used tongues.

    The rumours were correct and now we have two kids and a mortgage.

    Just kidding on the last bit.

    I don't think I ever lied to them, I'm not a coward. But I could have been nicer to one or two of them, that's for sure.

    Dumped someone for being a vegetarian once last year.

    Ya, I should have used a different superhero I think she was from the ocean herself. But there was a bridge there and it just seemed like the easiest option. We're now married 6 years and have 2 tadpoles and a herring together.

    Cause she was a vegetarian or cause she wouldn't 'eat meat'? :D :pac:

    was going with a girl for about 2 months during second year in college, then at the end of March I broke up with her cos I couldn't be arsed with a relationship and I just wanted to be a manwhore so I told her I liked her too much to become anymore involved with her as it would be too hard for me to be apart from her over the summer.


    She did ask me to stay around over summer (also told me she loved me) but I told her I couldn't leave my dad in the house on his own all over summer......Queue the relationship I started the following year which led to me staying there for the next 3 years and only going home every 4 or 5 months for a few days!!

    It's not me it's you!

    Used that one too.. announced I wanted to finish it, but I was a bit hestiant when asked why and she said sarcastically, "let me guess its not me its you, right!!"

    To which I replied, "Nope, its definitely you.. always has been you.. always will be you.. "

    She didnt take it too well.. :o:D

    Not really an excuse, more so the bitter truth!!

    'I really like you as a friend and I'm afraid if we continue to see each other that our friendship will be ruined' and of course we never spoke again. And the old favourite 'I just don't think I'm ready to be in a relationship right now' :rolleyes: Both were true but really crap excuses really!!

    Or the classic :

    'The infection hasn't cleared up yet and I'd hate to pass it on to you'

    Guys...
    You don't need to go through all the pain, stress and lying of breaking up with someone.

    Just get them to break up with you instead.
    It's simples..

    When the two of you are having sexy time, get behind her in the doggy position, grab on tight, then lean down and whisper in her ear......
    "Oooh you feel just like your sister.."

    Firstly... provided you can keep your grip, thats gonna be some epic sex..

    Secondly... She is so dumping your ass after that*.. So problem solved :)



    *If she doesn't dump you.... Giggidy...

    "I'm emotionally unavailable and not ready to start a relationship".

    She didn't stop bitching about me for the next 2 years after that.
