Remember the TV show Friends? Here’s their top Quotes for knowing when you’ve been rejected.

Remember the TV show Friends, and Seinfeld? Those lovable characters understood the dating rules, and when you've been rejected.

In writing my recent articles on rejection lines, and break-up lines, I couldn't help but go back to the days of Friends. Every one of the characters on Friends were lovable, but they also had the rules of dating down to a T. They knew what was going on, and it was always so interestingly entertaining the way they kept each other up-to-date on the ritual we all call dating.

In one episode, Phoebe came back from a date, and in explaining to Ross what had happened on her date, sweet little Rachael had no idea that the date went bad. Phoebe's date had walked her to the subway, and told her that

‘We should do this again.'

Rachael couldn't grasp the concept that it meant the opposite of what he was saying. This lead to a very topical conversation, in teaching Rachael the unspoken rules of dating. Which is what my articles are about, so I though it might be fun to get a few quotes from the gang of Friends, to see how they viewed dating, break-up lines, and rejection lines, from their unique point of view, and see if we can learn anything, as well, get a laugh.

Here's the list of the best break up and rejection lines, as explained on Friends.

Phoebe ‘We should do this again.'

Rachael. ‘That's good right?'

Friends all moan, to Rachael's confusion.

Translation by Monica, ‘We should do this again, loosely translated it means, ‘You will never see me naked.'

Joey, ‘It's like dating language, It's not you, it's me, means, it is you.'

Chandler, ‘Or when she says you're such a nice guy means, I'm going to be dating leather wearing alcoholics and complaining about them, to you.'

Or Phoebe, ‘When he says we should see other people, it means, Ha ha, I already ‘am.'

And lastly

Joey said it cushions the blow.

Cushioning the blow of rejection is what a lot of us try to do. Breaking up with people is hard. We don't want to hurt their feelings, we don't want them to hate us. But we do want to move on, and the most effective way is to be honest, sincere, and if they are into the dating game, one would suppose the unspoken dating words might work.

Jerry Seinfeld had his own set of dating rules. Here's the typical Seinfeld reasons for dumping a girl, or valiant attempts to get dumped.

Jerry Sienfilds Breakup reasons

‘The Big Salad' He had issues with her dating Newman, who rejected her.

‘The Bizarro Jerry' He didn't like her because of her ‘man hands.'

‘The Engagement'. He couldn't stand the fact she ate her peas one at a time.

‘The Invitations' He couldn't stand being with someone exactly like himself.

‘The Masseuse' She refused to give him a massage, so he said see you later.

‘The Merv Griffin Show' She wouldn't let him play with her toy collection.

‘The Pie' He rejected a girl over a piece of pie, she didn't want to try it at the coffee shop.

‘The Seven' He wanted to dump his date because she wore the same dress on every date, and got dumped for getting caught invading her closet.

Jerry had a pretty line of Celeb girlfriends throughout the years, here's some of his hottest guest star lovers.

All of which he dumped, was rejected by, or coerced into dumping him. Afraid of commitment Jerry? I think so. Too fussy? I think so.

Well that was some food for thought, hope it gave you something to think about. The reasons for dumping someone should be valid reasons, and knowing when someone is trying to politely dump you, is a sad time for you. But it will benefit you in the long it's not fair to you, to be with someone who is with you because they are too polite to tell you the difference. It's not fair to them either.
