What does it mean when a woman says...
Posted: 10/6/2009 9:03:36 PM

Is it;

a) She has really low self-esteem
b) I failed to help her feel loved and secure
c) I'm not setting the bar high enough
d) She is letting me down easy


This is a toughie. I'm going to have to use a lifeline. Can you eliminate two wrong answers, please, Regis?

If you just switch the "you" and "me" around
then you will know what she was really trying to say.

A woman that says -you are too good for her-- is letting you down and not interested in you, she says this in such a way as to dump you without anger on your part. She could have experienced a violent situation in the past with this and found saying it this way makes it a calm and easier way to break up, leaving your ego in tack and doesn't want to hurt your feelings.

What she can't say because she doesn't want to hurt you is:

I can't see myself with someone like you.

I usually view this as an easy let down. She's just not feeling it for you but she thinks you're a sweet and kind man.

All you really need to know is that both men and women do what they want to do. Analyzing the whole "you deserve better..." line is an emotional anchor that will only serve to hold you down. If she wanted you, she'd be there... This line (although somewhat pitiful) is designed to somehow cushion the blow of a break up. Is there any purposeful use in determining what went wrong? Be yourself, and do what you want to do and move on with the rest of your valuable life...

Besides, at least you found out now and the best revenge is a happy ending for yourself.

It means you fell into the nice guy trap. She likes you, but not in a way she wants to keep you. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, she's just looking for something different. Don't lose sleep over it, as it happens quite a bit.

What codes do you put in the message to reflect another's comments?

What codes do you put in the message to reflect another's comments? What we are addressing from another person's posts; in other words, encapsulated thought you are doing from another and then you answer that directly. Good idea! Makes comments more specific.

Is it {c} or something like that for copy?

I know when they say that alot . It's because maybe they got back with an ex flame ,or some bullshit like that . You should be able to decide what you deserve. Don't let a woman think for you ,or you will feel less of who you really are.

I think "You deserve someone better than me", means "You deserve someone who can overlook the negative things about you, and appreciate the positive things more, because I have become resentful over all of the things that you AREN'T or that you DON'T do....so you deserve someone who can put up with these things because to me they are non-negotiable for my happiness."
So, yeah she is putting a positive spin on you not measuring up to her idea of who she wants to be with for the rest of her life....
Think back, was there ever anything she would consistently tell you to do or stop doing and you just never caught on? Because a good woman will stick around to tell you more than once (what is commonly referred to as nagging), but if you don't get into the habit of doing it (taking out the garbage, or courtesy flushing), she will eventually get fed up and resentful and move on to someone who can fulfill her full needs.
Because, as a woman, all of the little things add up and can eat away at us, so that no matter how good things are, we will still not be satisfied or fully happy until we think you have listened to what matters to us, and effectively implemented it (daily or at least consistently).
Just my take on it.

I think this is a complete D. Whether she cheated, betrayed your trust in some way or she's just not that into you anymore, she's just trying to get out of it with no hard feelings.

If it was choice B, she'd probably be saying something along the lines of how she could do better.

I think if a woman really has low self esteem, she would try to hold onto you more. She'd probably get really clingy because she's afraid she won't have much luck anywhere else.

Then again she could just be fishing for compliments. "Oh no honey, you're the best!" In which case, maybe your bar isn't high enough. Fishing for comps is lame, you either get them geniunely or you don't.

Good luck with her,
