Today, my girlfriend dumped me. Her exact words used were "I like the idea of you, but I don't like you." I still don't know what that means. FML

She likes the idea of you= she likes having a boyfriend. She doesn't like you= ... She doesn't like you..

in theory you're good but you don't live up to her expectations

Sounds like you are better off, she doesn't sound like she is ready to be in a relationship if she can't handle the real person you are, not the image she went for, that happens in every relationship, it is adjusting to what you find past the shell (or not) that counts, sounds like she wanted you because of your looks or money or position but couldn't deal with the real person! She sounds shallow and/or immature. Sorry this happened to you, op, but you are better off!

It's pretty simple... she likes the idea of you, for example the idea of a bad boy but doesn't actually like that; the idea is not the reality.

She likes the idea of the person you could be but she doesnt like you as the person you are trust been through this shit makes you feel like shit

it means your what she "should have " in life, but it's not what she wants in reality, but it's a nice thought.

It means she stole a line from Role Models

It means that she likes THE PERSON YOU CLAIM TO BE, but, NOT THE PERSON YOU ACTUALLY ARE. In other words, you talk a good talk, but you don't walk what you talk.

She WANTS a boyfriend, but she doesnt want YOU to be him. Sorry :(

hahaha that line is from a movie

That is actually a great way to break up with someone and its true. it mean that she likes the good things about you, but there's also the reality of your faults that she doesn't think she can live with. Watch the movie Win a Date With Tad Hamilton. It'll explain. Haha

Probably means she like the idea of having sex with you but your penis is not good enough and it doesn't push the rite buttons! Or maybe she's a lesbian! And likes eating from the fury cup!
