What's the Best Way to Lose a Girl/Boyfriend's Interest?

1. You know you shouldn't call. Still, you tell yourself, "I'm an adult. They're an adult. I refuse to play stupid games. I"m going to call!"

2. Call

3. If they don't call back, email them. If they don't return your email, fax them a funny little joke. If they still don't call, drop by their office and surprise them with a "cute" card. If they're not at the office, drive to their house, wait at the front door, and, when they arrive, tell them they can do anything they want with you.

4. Ask once a week: "So, where do we stand?" or if you prefer a more dramatic, scrotum-tightener, say, "So, where do we stand as a couple?"

5. If you're female, just happen to have tickets to a play. Convince yourself that men love plays. Call him and say "I have two tickets to Frozen Eggs where the actress harvests her own eggs on stage and delivers a fascinating monologue about it!" Whatever you do, don't have tickets to anything fun like a playoff.

6. Count the number of days since your last date. Get so freaked out that you spend all the time on your next date telling them it's ben too long since your last date and you think they'd see you more often if they knew the "real" you. They may not want to know the "real" you, but never mind. Keep advancing on them with your nostrils distended and telling them about the real you anyway. Chase them down the street, claw at their pants if you must, but by all means, keep telling them about the real you.

7. Fixate on the future. Focus on them taking you to the Bahamas for Valentine's Day.

8. If the person doesn't take you to the Bahamas for Valentine's Day, act all light and breezy and then suddenly collapse in a heap of hopelessness, burst into tears, and inform the person they have "intimacy issues".

9, Speaking of which, always cry after sex.

10. Better yet, cry during sex.

11. Remember, you must work at losing a person's interest. The surest way is to smother your Mystery. Strangle it, stomp it, spank it, strap it, hack it to pieces...

This ones familiar.

My favorite is #6, the one about the "real" you... I am sooo guilty of thinking that way!

#10 is ga-run-TEED to work . . .

show her your private collection of warts

I read that and felt sad.

Sad because I have done some of these myself. Sad cos I realise why.

It is a very cruel compulsive obsession, which I have put myself through.

this never helps

I guess that depends on where the warts are located, too!

Nope, that is not usually something we girly-girls like to experience with a man 'Specially not the Dutch-Oven speciality brand of it!

It just should not be that hard! I'd say one is not ready if they go through all that. Take time to heal you... get yourself in order then reach out for another. Otherwise one is projecting and the "other" will be rejecting!
Am i right or wrong here?

Keep in mind, it's also quite "tongue in cheek" and not necessarily meant to be a serious reflection on men/women...

If you want to get rid of a woman then fart during sex then waft and enjoy

Sorry! The analytical me takes over everytime!

I think the "best/fastest" way to lose his interest is to tell him all about your ex's and how "bad" they were to you. how EVERYTHING was their fault. add to that ALL the problems u r having, & criticize urself ever time he compliments u. remember u have "no" self esteem or love 4 urself. u cant understand why in the hell he even bothers with u & u tell him this. u tell him he deserves better. u talk about everybody u know, what a terrible childhood u had & what a victim u r. poor me! this list will make even the most "hard up" guys run!!!

Late moonlit night, slow drive home after a wonderful night out...

"Fancy a little music honey?"

"Sure"

"How about Prince?"

"Okay...yeah, something sexy"

"You'll like this one, it's called...'Jughead'"

talking about ex's for very long AT ALL is not a good idea.
