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

It means that she just used you for entertainment and then got bored so she dumped you :/

She likes the idea of a relationship with someone LIKE you. She just doesn't like you, specifically.

It means she likes the idea if having a relationship but she doesn't like you. It doesn't take a rocket scientist!

Ever wanted something, and then when you get it, it's disappointing? She liked her fantasies of you more than what actually happened with you.

It means that while you're the perfect guy for her, she just doesn't feel the chemistry when she's in the same room. Maybe you're more fun to talk to online or in text messages than in person. Maybe your timings don't match up. It can be any number of things, but it seems like she still thought you worthy of her love, just that it wasn't getting to that point even if she tried.

Watch the freedom writers. You'll totally understand.

Sounds like she wants a boyfriend, only that you will not be the boyfriend. :D

It could mean "someone a lot like you, but not actually you" Sorry dude...

She likes you as a person but doesn't want to be with you. Sorry she dumped you.
