What he says: “You’re too good for me.”
What he really means: He’s not good boyfriend material — and he knows it. When a man says that you deserve a better guy than himself, run — yes, run — the other way. “Most people overestimate their value,” notes Haltzman. “They think they deserve that raise or to be chosen as the winner on American Idol. So if a man tells you that he’s not worthwhile, he’s probably right.” This bad-news dude is flat-out telling you that he doesn’t put much stock in what it takes to make a relationship work, like honesty, trust, or fidelity, says Haltzman. Bottom line: “Believe him and thank him for saving you from a lifetime of misery,” says Allen.
