a peice of wisdom

Getting rid of a man without hurting his masculinity is a problem; doing it right requires tremendous tact and duplicity. "Get out" and "I never want to see you again" might sound like a challenge to him and you run the risk of the fellow pursuing you even harder.

If you want to get rid of a man, I suggest you look into his eyes dreamily and say, "I love you...I want to marry you...I want to have your children. Let's get engaged and marry next month. It will be wonderful, won't it?" Sometimes they leave skid marks.
