Rule #9 – How to give 'em the slip

April 23, 11:11 AM

When he starts to get too clingy and "only wants to cuddle," it's time to ditch that loser. Now some guys are harder to dump than others. Some won't get the hint even after you tell him you're not the commitment type, or that you're not into monogamy, or that you hate his effing guts. Once he starts getting too obsessed and demands that you pay him back the money he loaned you, it's time to break out the big guns to get him outta your hair.


When he persists, be drastic. Tell him you're dyin'. Slash his tires so he can't drive over to bother you. Another trick I use is to have my son call him dad - that usually scares 'em off. One guy was so hell bent on seeing me and getting his wife's ring back, that I had to hide out in a porta-potty for a couple of days before he stopped stalking me -- the upside was that I met a new guy in the porta-potty. It ain't always pretty, but a girl has to do what a girl has to do when she's givin' a guy the slip.

Thanks for the advice Mer! I used it against Neil the Sailor. Probably why you haven't noticed him lurking around lately. I told him I had a sex change and my pre-op name was Patrick.
