Don't Want to Remain Friends? Getting Rid of the Ex-Boyfriend of Your Nightmares

So here's the scenario. You've just gotten out of your last relationship. You and your boyfriend ended on good terms. Both of you realized that things just weren't working out right. As a matter of fact, you decide that you can be good friends. After all he was an important part of your life and it just doesn't seem right for you to never talk again. But suddenly your friendly conversations have become just a bit too frequent. He starts ending them with phrases like... "Man I never should have let you go" and every so often he shows up at your house for a "friendly night out". You're ready to move on, date new people and live a new life. But he just keeps hanging on... to you, your mom, your friends. Here's how to get rid of your pesky ex.

Scenario # 1 He just won't stop calling your phone.

Solution # 1 Get one of your male friends to start answering your phone for you. Do this enough times and most guys will get the hint. Make sure you pick a friend whose voice he won't recognize and make sure he sounds extremely casual and comfortable answering your phone.

Solution # 2 If you have an extremely jealous ex ( like so many of us do) having a guy answer your phone may backfire on you. So you've got to try a different tactic. If you want to get really creative, crank up some loud music (doesn't matter what time of day) and yell into the phone whenever he calls. He'll think you're having the time of your life without him and will hopefully leave you alone.

Solution # 3 This solution is an almost sure fire way to get rid of those annoying phone calls. Just be straightforward. I'm sure you're concerned about hurting his feelings, but there is a way to do this without causing too much harm. It goes like this "I really enjoy our friendship, but I think I need some time to get over you. I'd really appreciate it if you didn't call me for a while." His ego will be boosted by the idea that you're still pining away over him. But he'll also get the picture that it's not okay for him to call anymore.

Scenario #2 Your mother loves him and he likes to use this as a way to conveniently hang around your family's home and get information about who you're spending time with.
