Most shameful reasons for dumping someone

[Muphin_Mann]

I found out she was hanging out with someone named Carter. Everyone told me how she spent so much time with Carter. I got jealous as hell, thought she was cheating on me for another guy, allowed it to poison the relationship, and finally stormed out after making an ass of myself. I later found out Carter was a girl, her best friend, and absolutely no threat to our relationship.

Sucked bad, man. Every time I start to feel any jealousy, my brain is sure to bring that memory up and I feel like an ass.

Seriously, parents, stop giving your girls boy names. It's fucking confusing.

Hmmm...So it isnt any simpler if you date straight girls? Via coincidence and whatnot i have only dated varying degrees of bisexuals. The post im quoting reads like the alternate ending of a relationship i had...where i was right to be concerned...even tho the other person was a girl and her best friend.

I'm sure everyone here has shallowly, shamefully dispatched of a romantic prospect for...less than commendable reasons.

"I'm sure everyone here has dispatched of a romantic prospect."
"I'm sure everyone here has [had] a romantic prospect."
I don't know about the rest of the community, but I'd be surprised if I was the only one who hasn't...

So... I guess the worst way I have thrown away a romantic prospect would be me realizing that while I feel interested in a girl, I wouldn't know where to go with it after telling her, spiralling down in thoughts that I would be a shitty boyfriend, that I wouldn't actually love her the way she presumably would love me, wouldn't be bothered to make time for her, and that it would eventually end anyways and I don't really like people's company so is there really any point? Thoughts that I really am most comfortable on my own. Not cut out to socialize like normal people.
Thus leading me to strangle the sparks of romantic attraction before they could grow significant enough to make me actually pursue a relationship.

Boy, this was uplifting.

...I have found my soul-mate! Okey, my reasons are actually the same as yours... Who would have thought. Sad parts about being human, the 'What if's'. What if I'm not good enough? What if I can't love him/her? What if I hurt him/her? What if he/she finds someone better? Those question are some of my main reasons for never have gotten a romantic relationship. (That, and I think I am ugly -_-)

Hey, and you're from Norway too. Fun times.

Well, I guess it's a pretty common mindset.
We should get Raktheundead over here and walllow in our hopelessness.

I feel somewhat happy that I've never been in a relationship, so I don't have to feel bad about dumping someone :3

Not that I would. Even I wanted to, I'd be too much of a coward to dump someone >.>

dumped an ex coz i wanted someone else (which i think is a good reason)
but flying over to visit her and telling her all that and then dumping her on day one and leaving again.. was in retrospect not such a good decision ....

meh live n learn

SHE WAS TOO COLD - Not emotionally, mind you. Cold to the touch. Chilling, almost. Like she'd just come in from an ice storm. And so, so pale. But I know what you're thinking...no, she wasn't a vampire. No, she had type 1 diabetes, and apparently this lead to circulatory problems. And she was really sweet, and kind. But so cold! I just couldn't take it. I stopped responding to her emails. I'm a loathsome brute. A wretched, wretched stain of a human being. Truly.

Dude, hook me up with her...
I know it sounds weird, but if there's one thing I hate about cuddling someone, it's that it's too hot! I mean liturally, I start to overheat. Cuddling up to someone icy-cold to the touch would be wonderful :3

OT: I don't think I've dumped anyone for an unusual reason... though I'm still rather low on the dirt scale for the way I dumped my second girlfriend. I not only left her for someone younger (ok, only a couple of years younger, but still), but I lied about it and said it was because I cheated on her and deserved better. Worse than that, I pretty much just got back from spending 3 months with her when I dumped her... on the phone >.>
I can't say I put on fake tears while doing it, I was really upset while doing it, but the tears cleared up pretty quickly when I looked forward to the new girl I was going to be with (and was with for a good 3 or so years).

Still... life goes on and I'm back to being friends with both of my exes now.

I have no shame, therefore I am unable to dump anyone for any shameful reason. Kind of awesome.

However, I had a roommate that got rejected for; "He would be unable to fulfill my monetary requirements".

And of course, I've been rejected for; my hair length, my taste in music, not wanting to marry her after 6 months of dating, my lack of religion, not smoking, being the designated driver, and my personal favorite; my honesty (which has many a good story behind it).

She didn't put out.
