“If People Used ‘Break Up Lines’ Instead Of ‘Pick Up Lines’ What Would Some Of Them Be??”: 71 Of The Funniest Answers

Reddit user Jamicandude69 asked their fellow redditors to share what some break up lines would be if they were like pick up lines, and people adored the thread. With over 87.5k upvotes, 9.6k comments, and more awards than I’ve seen in a long time, you can bet your bottom dollar that the thread was a roaring success.

#2

Hey babe, I think its about time we cancel our gym membership. We're not working out anymore

#3

Hey babe I think is time we take our relationship to the previous level

Jamicandude69 told Bored Panda that they got inspired to create the thread when they were breaking up with their ex: "She said, 'You should have had a breakup line.' I just figured I would ask Reddit for next time," the redditor said.

"I did not expect it to get this much attention," said the redditor, pointing out they thought that may a couple of people would respond. But the idea that the thread would blow up to be so huge never even crossed their mind.

"I think the world would be a better place with cheesy break up lines because people who normally would get sad or cry about their ex can laugh during the hard parts or just have some fun," they said that break up lines would get rid of a lot of people's anxiety.

Jamicandude69 also had some advice for anyone who is scared to break up with their partner. "Don't be scared if you wanna break up with someone. If you truly want to break up with someone then, 'Just Do It." It might hurt and be depressing for a couple of months, but it will get better," the redditor shared their 'this too shall pass' philosophy.

Breaking up with someone can be immensely stressful for you, your partner, and for any mutual friends that you have (and will have to divide up among yourselves). It’s rarely easy. It makes you overthink things. And sometimes it makes you want to put off the break up indefinitely.

#7

#9

Hey baby, I think I'm going blind. Because I can't see you anymore.

Relationship coach Samantha Burns told The Cut that before you make the final decision to break up with someone, you should try to work through any issues you have together. A break up shouldn’t come out of the blue because people aren’t mind readers.

After you break up, you should watch your emotions for a few months. If you find that you’re not just missing your ex but actually fully regretting the break up, it might be worth meeting up with them and having a long heart-to-heart. You never know, it might be the perfect chance to use that cheesy pick up line you always wanted to say out loud.
