What does it mean when the person you love says "YOU DESERVE SOMEONE BETTER?"

It depends on how sincerely they meant it. But most of the time, Its just a subtle way to end the relationship. If you love someone so dearly and you think he/she needs someone better then why not make your self better to deserve him/her. Thats just my view. Others might not agree.

to me i would view it as someone trying to say that they don't want to be with me anymore, but they don't want to come right out and say it

besides what others think that perhaps he wants to end the relationship in a polite way, i think there is other posibility. perhaps he has done something wrong and feels guilty of himself. as his partner, you should have the ability to distinguish it.

Well, for me this means he is thinking that he don't deserves to the love that we have for him.. Maybe because he don't love me the way I'm loving him or he is someone else.. Actually,there is already someone who said that to me.. And his reason why he says those things to me because he don't love me the way that I'm loving him... He thinks that he is not deserving since we both know that he just love me as his friend.. But I accept it cause I know that I can't push him to love me and I must let him go since if he stay he will not be happy to me and I will not be happy also because I am just fooling myself... It is hard but need to do... Happy posting...

When some one says that it basically a case of being hurt themselves. Sometimes my girlfriend does that when we fight alot and if she says alot which she doesnt have to say and she does it, she would say i dont deserve you, that doesnt mean she is saying that she doesnt wants to be with me, indirectly. Its just that she got hurted and thought about that she cant give what I deserve! She thinks that i deserve love and all that she could give on that moment was Hurt, That doesnt mean that they are telling you that they want to move on, Indirectly. This is a wrong feeling. You must never take your love as a negative side except they really do something bad or they really do something which makes u leave them. On the contrary if you see, Its just another way to express how much they love you that they, not willing themselves, want you to feel that they think you deserve The best . Have a nice day!

When sbdy says like that it means u are not eligible 4 her or him.So just leave her orhim.And dont care ever for anyone.

If someone says like it to me, I would presume that I was wrong at some point of time or I might have offended the concerned person. It would appear a sarcastic remark to me, because if someone loves me, it is understood that she has accepted me 'as it is' and I have accepted her with all her minus and positive traits.

2 possibilities come to my mind from that statement, "You deserve someone better". One, it may just be that the person really feel inferior, be it capability, wealth, health, love given, etc. Two, it is just a diplomatic way of saying, "Sorry, I don't think I can accept a relationship with you." IT'S REJECTION!

This is the strongest indication of insecurity and low self esteem in the person who says that. Whenever anyone thinks they do not deserve anything it could stem from two main reasons: 1. The way they have been treated in their own life by others. Perhaps they have not been valued, praised, affirmed or reinforced too much in their lives so far. Lacking such positive feedback, they are likely to believe they are not worthy of love and affection, that they are insignificant and undeserving. Their confidence in who they are, what they could be and their capacity to love would be pretty low. 2. Perhaps they feel that the person they fancy is difficult to please, might expect things from them they cannot deliver or makes them feel inadequate. In that case, they would feel that they could not really satisfy this person and would begin retreat from the relationship by suggesting someone 'better'. Either way, this is someone who would need a lot of work to build their confidence, a lot of kindness, love, affirmation and encouragement, as they will always feel inadequate against their partner. He/She would have little self belief, which means that no matter how great they are treated, they would not think they deserve it. This person clearly has no self love and cannot really begin to love anyone else either, in the true sense of the word, until they get some! And no one can do that for them. If you really like this person, then one way to help them would be to keep telling them how much you care about them, how much they are valued and wanted, keep reinforcing their great points and encouraging them wherever possible, be as kind and motivating as you can to build their self esteem – but it will be hard work!

am!this is just my opinion.that sentence have many means like,he tell you that he don't have feeling on you and maybe the feelings are not mutual.maybe,he love somebody else.and maybe he don't love as much as you do.girl!don't worry if he telling you like that he just being honest about here feeling towards you and he trying say it with not so much hurt,its just for me huh.if that happen to me,im just trying to ignore and forget it and be positive,i will tell to myself,"i think im to good to be true to him"..that's it.there a lot guyz out there more than you ever know,and maybe he is not the right one for you..what do you think girl?its just my opinion.

a sweet way of saying i wanted out of this relationship...i hate it when they say that...just tell me directly you wanted to be out of this relationship...i need reasons but if you don't want to give me one then so be it...but i will not ask you to stay. if you want to go then go,,,i will not stop you...

Well its obvious that he or she doesnt want you anymore meaning that he/she cannot stand the fact that your way too superior for him. LOL!!! :D

well it would obviously mean that they are not good enough trying to point out the fact they have been cheating or like some one else or want to break it off with you its a easier way than to say i dont like you any more. or on the other hand it is like they admitting that they are not good and in a way saying sorry. either it way it sounds like a good thing but it is not

i would think that the person is meaning to say our relationship is over.it is a very polite way and would not hurt the other person.

Good day.. That statement is such a cliche. It's been used too many times when we all know what it really means.. Meaning, sorry hon I've met someone and I like her more than you. Sorry you deserve someone better (really huh)when in their heart meant someone lesser than me.

don't mean to be mean & i sure don't want to hurt your feelings but it sounds to me he's wanting a way out. men don't usually think there's anyone better than them because most of them think they are perfect to begin with. good luck.

COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO SIMPLE. HE IS TRYING TO BE MODEST. NOTHING ELSE. THIS IS THE DIFFERENT WAY OF EXPRESSING HIS CRAVING FOR YOU.

Yeah, I too come across such situation. I just share my history. To my view, The lover states so because of their Inferiority complex. or small mistakes from their side because of emotional attachment with own family and not able to carry forward. Happy living

two possibilities: 1) he wanted to end the relationship. 2) he has done something wrong and is really guilty about it. A way of apologizing.
