-- Posted by MerlinaAddams at 6:39 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 My boyfriend said "I don't deserve you. You're too good for me." And he said I meant a lot to him and that he was glad I didn't break up with him. So does this mean that he has a low self-esteem or is this just another way of saying "It's not you, it's me"? Should I ask him directly what he means by that? -- Posted by 2kewl4u2know at 6:42 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 My boyfriend says that sometimes, usually when he's feeling down on himself...so I think it's more low self-esteem. -- Posted by sicosys at 6:44 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 self esteem issues... hold him close when he says that... guys love that shit even if they dont admit it! -- Posted by jennay at 6:46 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 he sounds insecure. i would avoid dating an insecure boy if i were you -- Posted by helloworld at 8:13 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 Quote: from MerlinaAddams at 9:39 pm on Oct. 24, 2008 Should I ask him directly what he means by that? Yes. -- Posted by nik1 at 12:21 pm on Oct. 27, 2008 Sounds like a line I used once when I wanted to break with a girl. Absolutely....ask him to explain over and over until he has the balls to tell you exactly what he means.
