Killer break-up line #2: "I don't deserve you"

Here's a heck of a break-up line. Notice how psychological it is? It reflects the dumper's level of self-esteem and also reflects how they view you. Whoever came up with this a long time ago was pretty good. On one point, it's a dumping line, yet it's designed to make you feel good about yourself.

It's a killer line because: Sure, that line sounds quite self-deprecating. As if the person's belittling themselves. As if your dumper has such a low opinion of himself/herself that there's no other option, but to let you go. As if you were the better person who deserves someone waaay better than your dumper. The funny thing is, it can go both ways. Whether you think highly or lowly of yourself, you can use this line and pull it off with no one the wiser. Thus, "I don't deserve you."

"Yes, you doooo!" *cry*

Forget it. The person's already moved on to someone else they think they deserve. Sometimes, there's the unspoken bit after "I don't deserve you."

"I deserve someone hella better than you."
