I still don't understand how people say or believe that.
Plenty of people who ARENT ready can have a happy relationship if they push through, and there's just as many people who are fully and truly prepared for love but are chronically single.
I got the same reason.
"Too busy" is another cop out excuse. If you truly care about each other, you'll make it work.
Anyway, in this scenario, "I'm not ready" = "I'm not ready for sex, which is what I think you want. I don't want to get my heart broken becauae you can't have sex. Of course, I'm not even going to give you the chance to explain yourself, I've already jumped to my own conclusions about you"
Btw , when you said 'looks like I'm going to talk with her, I knew you were gonna be dumped. I'm able to predict my own inevitable rejection/breakup, I don't know whether to laugh or cry over this fact.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: ending a relationship is hard enough, but BS'ing your reasons for doing it adds insult to injury.
