Why would a guy break up with you because he likes you too much??!?

Yup he broke up with me citing that





a) he's overwhelmed by his feelings and likes me too much





b) he (at 27!!) needs to find out who he is and can't do this by dating only one person.





Explain to me how someone could break up with you because they like you too much %26amp; because you ask them to only date you (but not be their gf, see them a lot or get involved in their life).





I am so scared something precious has been thrown away.





I'm 23 and have never had good sex with anyone before, now I'm scared in won't happen again.





I want him so much I don't know how to cope ...





Why would he do this? Does it mean he was dating/sleeping around all the time? Is it an excuse or is he just terrified of something?Why would a guy break up with you because he likes you too much??!?
errm to be honest (i am a 20 years old male in case this information will help you to judge whether i am worth listening to) from the sound of that it is just an excuse, a very bad one, people don't break up with others because they like them to much, it's the complete opposite, and as for the second part, about ';finding out who he is';, if anyone meets another person who they like so much that they think is worth spending lifetime with, they'd keep them with them, and ';finding out who he is'; is going to be very low down in priority. the only reason i could think of for someone wanting to break up because of liking someone too much is either because it is influencing their career badly, or that for some reason the relationship is impossible or very difficult, like... long distance, family objection etc... but to be honest, i think it's just a bad excuse.Why would a guy break up with you because he likes you too much??!?
He's lying to you...so he won't hurt you.
