One for the books

I recently got out of this pseudo quasi sort of "relationship" slash arrangement with someone and I am just really feeling a bit cheated, annoyed, frustrated, etc etc by how the guy handled The Talk. As cheesy as it sounds, I laid my heart on the line, went the extra mile, became my utmost vulnerable, yadda yadda yadda, and all I got were these emotionally-stunted lines:

FYI guys, this is how NOT to end things with someone.

Girl says: I really really like you.
Classic guy response #1: Yeah...I kinda feel that...
Girl thinks: I did not just hear that, right?

Guy says: I love someone else. And I'm choosing to be with her.
Girl remains quiet as she lets this sink in, finally says: Ok, I suppose I already expected you'd say that.
Classic response #2 (delivered while looking straight into eyes of Girl): But...I just want you to know...that if I weren't with her, if I were single...ikaw na. Even before things got complicated between us.
Girl incredulously thinks: Is that supposed to make me feel better?

Girl says: I noticed you've been very distant lately.
Classic response #3: It's not just with you...I've been distant to everyone. And it's really because...I've been having difficulties in my career.
Girl, having just had the wind knocked out of her, thinks: Guys, do NOT use this line on us women EVER. Make something up, LIE for all we care, just say something else!!!

Want to royally piss us off? Use all three on the same friggin night. Throw in a souvenir bracelet. Which we will just burn a few hours later so don't even bother.

Want to drive us on an all out rage? Next time you see us, pretend nothing happened and act all normal and friendly and casual and call us by our last names! Hoy (insert last name here)!

How convenient.

Want to annoy us even further? Suddenly text us saying "Hey I kinda felt you avoided me earlier. I guess it's okay if that's the best way you can think of setting things straight between us. I hope we'll go back to how we were before."

My advice? Stop being friendly, stop saying you understand because you DON'T and just shut up. You're not really being helpful. And the last thing we want is your pity. Because we don't need it. Your loss, not ours.

Okay, back to work.

Man I am royally pissed! And yes, I know my reaction's a bit delayed but my reason's really simple--I was distraught and was a bit slow in processing what was happening. It must've been shock brought about by all the anti-climatic answers I was getting.

Oh well. Men.

    Whenever "classic" lines are born, they're usually made by guys (who do not know better). Let me add one more to your list:

    Girl says: Why are you suddenly breaking up with me? Everything's been going so well!

    Classic response #4: Whenever I think of my future, I can't see you there.

    Putangina. Hahaha!

    Can't wait to see you again, Trish. :) We are going to have *so* much fun. :D
