What is the strangest reason you have ever broken up with someone, or they with you?

Not exactly sure.
Seriously, had one girl tell that she thought I was rude to her and ignored her and didn't want to go out with me anymore. The odd part was, I didn't even know we were going out. I had been in a couple groups of people that both of us were around, but never asked her out or thought of it as a date.

I broke up with a girl in 3rd or 4th grade because she kept dumping my pencils onto the floor. Did it 3 or 4 times and I had enough. *****.

I once heard, "I don't want to be serious with anybody and I can't not be serious with you."

I'm not sure if that was sort of a compliment or a bold-faced lie. Eh, it doesn't matter.

Freshman year at Iowa State, I was taking Calculus I, which was basically a repeat of high school calculus. Started going out with a guy that wanted to go into engineering. He was retaking Calculus I because he flunked it the first time. He flunked it again and dumped me because I got an A. :rolleyes:

i did have one girl break up with me for not really any reason after about 4 dates. Then I ran into about 5 years later at a bar and she got mad at me and asked why I broke up with her. I said I distinctly remember you saying you didn't want to go out with me again. She told me I was wrong and it was me who broke it off. That might have been a good one to get out of it appeared.

Here's one:

We weren't dating necessarily, just having consensual sexual intercourse...behind the back of her boyfriend. She was allergic to latex, latex-free condoms were pretty expensive for a college kid, so she would steal them from him and bring them over. Eventually they broke up because he backhanded her in the car while he was driving. I thought this meant she was done with him and now we were together. She invited me down to a wedding, I went down, she was acting really sketchy. We get back from the wedding and were hanging out on the couch when her new side piece shows up at the door. That was the end of that.

A few years later, we're hanging out as friends, we have a few drinks, head back to my place, hit the sack...I forgot she was allergic to latex and knowing she was a curious cat, I wasn't about to take the risk. We part ways. 5 months later she's engaged and taking engagement/baby belly pictures. Dodged a bullet.

One girl broke up with me because she was a lesbian. I took it as a compliment that I was her boy ploy.

I once dumped a girl because I was having too much fun at Iowa State while she was still in high school.

I dumped a chick because she was constantly texting me and wanting to hang out during my internship. I was extremely busy during that time. I would hang out with her once or twice a week. The 5 or 6 times I didn't, she would go into a rant accusing me of not being interested in her and would finish every rant with "you just come off like you want to break up." So after two weeks of this, I just stopped talking to her period.

This last summer I had a girl break up with me. She was extremely jealous...extremely jealous. So I couldn't ever talk about women. So one night, we were talking about me moving into a new apartment in two weeks. She asked if any girls would ever be there. I said I'm sure a few of my college buddies will hang out if we're having a get together, and then of course, DK, Fitzy's girlfriend, would be over occasionally with Fitzy.

A girlfriends mom in high school told her she thought I was great and all, but that my best friend was even better. I broke up with her because I felt her family was too screwed up.
