I can't tell if you're serious or if this is just the plot to Dragon Age II.

This image actually nicely combines both of my answers.

What movie?!?!

Lamest reason I ever gave was that she was boring; but she wasn't to most people. I met her at a New Years party and we hit it off pretty good for about a month. Then I realized all she did was drink, do a lot of drugs, party, and go to clubs. It was my final semester as an undergrad and it was never my scene anyway.

Lamest reason given to me, I went to college. Not that I (we) went away to college but I made a decision to get higher education. That was an end to a three year relationship.

For the life of me, I cannot remember!! That guy, that time period (early 2000s), maybe Fargo?

I looked deep into her eyes and said, "The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongy and bruised."

I'm just shocked anyone doesn't like Merrill.

Isabela won me forever last night with "I like big boats. I cannot lie."

Oh, I thought you were being coy because it was actually the Cpt's first shot at a relationship with you.

And if he's laughing at the wrong spots in Fargo then you're probably better off having broken up with him than ending up in a wood chipper.

I went out on like six dates with this one girl I thought was the hottest one ever until she took off her shoes and her 4'11" height freaked me out. If you must know, I am whacked out by short people.

I tried to make it work out, but it just weirded me out too much.

In all honesty, I've never really had a good or bad breakup line.. most relationships I've been in have just faded away.

Haha! Nonono, wasn't Domano. It was definitely a movie where laughing at the wrong parts was dumb + creepy which makes Fargo a pretty good possibility.

Somehow your avatar makes that last statement oddly unsettling.

Though more than a little Valentine's day appropriate

Pshaw! Actually the first shot was the Blair Witch Project, which I discovered rather recently wasn't actually a date like I had initially thought it was. Even though I was late and ended up getting there after the movie started (eventually just sat by myself because I didn't want to be That Guy), I apparently made a good enough impression. Somehow.

My senior year of High School I got into a huge fight with my girlfriend because she liked the movie Junior.

I don't think I ever broke up with anyone. I've always been on the receiving end of the breakups.

I was never much of a dater, either.

Is that pathetic?

Silly reason for breakup: In college I dumped a girl because she had absolutely no technical skills. She was smart, and was getting good grades as a sociology major, but she didn't own a computer and did all her work on a word processor and by hand with long notepads. I went to college in the 90's; on average 1 in 5 students owned a computer, so this was not unusual. But when we spoke about anything technical/electronic/mechanical her eyes would glaze over. I just couldn't stand it.

Shameful reason for breakup: I dumped a girl I was dating because I slept with her next door neighbor. That next door neighbor turned out to be the girl of my dreams and we've been together for 2 decades now, so no regrets. But, it was still kind of messed up.

I once told a girl she didn't want to get mixed up with a guy like me and that I was a loner, a rebel. Not really, I've got nothing to add this week as I was a member of the not much of a dater club.

Nope

In high school I broke up with a really nice chick who I really liked because I thought she was uncomfortable around my friends who did naughty things like smoke pot. Definitely a regret. I tried hard to get her back, but I was an idiot.

Not really the end of a relationship, but I went on a date with a girl and afterward she walked me back to my door. I was living with my parents at the time, and my brother and a bunch of his friends were hanging out in the driveway. I was kinda nerdy, and this girl was kinda nerdy, and my brother's buddies made a bunch of jokes about how I was too nerdy to have sex with her. I don't even really remember most of it except for a joke about her and I studying "Fellatio Hornblower", an unexpectedly clever reference from one of them. I was so embarrassed that I didn't call her back the next day like I'd promised and then accidentally lost her number and had no idea how to reach her.

What is your favorite quote from a sports movie?

"Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, it's bobsleigh time!" (Cool Runnings)

/thread ?

[size=8]Disclaimer: I haven't seen Million Dollar Baby, Rocky, Legend of Bagger Vance, Jerry McGuire, Mighty Ducks, Waterboy, White Men Can't Jump, He Got Game or any big sports movie, really...[/size]

"You guys are gonna get pitch-slapped so hard, your man boobs are gonna concave."

What? Pitch Perfect is totally a sports movie.

Can I put the entirety of Friday Night Lights tv show on here? Sweet, a combo video of Coach Taylor speeches!

Fine, fine, I'll go with his failure speech.

Not the funniest line ever, in a vacuum, but my family saw the film in the theater, with my then five-year old sister, who shouted out at piercing maximum volume, "MOMMY, WHAT'S A PICKLE TICKLE?"
