Women often lie to "be nice". like if they are rejecting you or if they are breaking up with you. Be better if they told you straight (rejecting you) rather than keep stringling you along and not telling you how they feel outright, its better for a guy to take a rejection in one huge blow rather than being kept in a loop which henceforth keeps the hope, which is much much worse imo. Ive experienced both and its so much easier for a guy to move on if they are told outright.
