Sure, but she may not know that you can handle rejection well...so she plays it safe. There are many guys out there who don't handle rejection well at all. Many temperamental man-children out there. It's not really important to know the specifics of why things didn't work, just that they didn't work.

Sometimes, honesty can have repercussions.

anyone ever received this phrase?
In dating is it really truly them or is it truly you to blame for the relationship not working out?

For those who are telling the truth it means "Sorry it's not you it's me", for those who are not telling the truth it means "Sorry it is you not me but I won't say it is you not me".

^^^ This one.

Doesn't matter. It's a break up, and it could mean a million different things. It all depends on who is saying it.

Say nothing and just leave. No need for meaningless details. The outcome remains the same no matter what is said.
