I think that you're right that it is mostly a variation on "It's not you, it's me" - but I don't think that's actually a lie. You can "reject" a completely great person because they don't fit what you need.
Someone who literally means "you're too good for me" likely has self-esteem issues and a good relationship probably won't come from that anyway so best to let it go. It's not up to you to save them and make them feel okay about themselves - they have to do that.
If someone tells you that you are too good for them, it is true and you need to reassess your criteria for selecting a partner. Definately time to let that person go and do better the next time.

Exactly. You could also think you're ready to date, say after a break-up or some other bad experience, and realize you're not after starting to. The person could be great and even great for you, but the timing could just be off.
Has anyone EVER said that to someone and actually MEANT it??
Has anyone ever had that said to them and actually believed the person MEANT it?
Or is that the same as "It's not you, it's me" and generally seen as a nice way to let someone down?
I'm sure it happens.
I've had it said to me before. Now I can never know if she has meant it or not as I am not a mind reader, all I know is that she said it. I can do with it what I please.
OP: Why attempt to dissect this statement? Does it really matter? Will it change the outcome?
Just accept the statement as it, be thankful you do not have to deal with the dramatics of it all and move forward in your day and life.
