What's the worst, dumbest line you've ever gotten from someone who didn't have the guts to say "I'm just not that into you"? Or, along those same lines, what's the worst breakup line you've ever heard?
Mine is still this nonsensical mess that a woman said to me many years ago: "What I feel for you is love, but I would never say I love you."
I can't say the worst line I got from someone who just wasn't into me. However, the worst line I witnessed a person give to another that that person wasn't into was the clothesline.
I've been dumped a bunch of times and that's probably why I'm so skiddish now. Been through it enough that I feel like I can sense when it's coming. They always said something about how great I was but that they weren't ready. One told me that he had to break up with me because he was finding Jesus. Ooookay
I had a guy tell me I was too needy. Every other man has said I am not needy at all.
Although there are definitely 'needy' people of both genders, often at that early stage, it's just a way of saying "I don't actually like you enough to pay that much attention to you, and since you like me, it's annoying".
Yes the second the woman refers to you as “sweet” she ain’t into you. Forget about it.

That is correct: all rules have exceptions. But exceptions are generally governed by specific rules. For the most part, "sweet" is synonymous with "stable provider", the type of men women are never attracted to, just someone they want to settle down with. In my own experiences, women who were romantically interested in me never referred to me as "sweet". They used words like "good moral character" or even "kind", but never "sweet". Or worse, "nice".
Conversely, it's common for me to use the word "sweet" to describe a friendly woman I feel comfortable around. But hey, what's good for the goose is rarely good for the gander.
This is going back a ways, but Jerry Garcia had just died. Someone I was having a summer romance with told me he'd gone to a memorial gathering for Jerry Garcia, where he met a woman he'd dated previously, and they reunited in their shared grief.
That was pretty gentle, actually. My life has been more long-term relationships than casual dating, so I can't think of another example.
I dumped someone by telling him he'd make a good father and should meet someone who wants to have kids. That was true, though hardly the real reason I was ending things.
