What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?Groovypoodle writes, "My mate once told his girlfriend that he didn't think it was working only for her to laugh and tell him he was hilarious. Saying she was 'too weird' and 'slightly violent' and that he didn't like her was equally hilarious. Ripping off her wing mirror, throwing it through the windscreen
and storming off in a huff merely generated an apology from her a week later..."
Just how hard have you had to work to get someone to take the hint and stay dumped?

poor manI got very drunk at a house party (with kids from the rival school!) when I was about 16, and ended up flirting with some bloke - couldn't remember a single thing about him the next day, and was happily getting over my hangover when my 'best' friend called for the inevitable postmortem. We chatted about the lack of talent at the party, and then she told me that i'd been sitting in this guy's lap, stroking his hair, and generally fondling him. a lot. when he asked for my number, I refused, so she wrote it on the back of his hand! Bitch!
So I hung up on her, in a typical teenage huff. Which is, of course, when the phone rang.
Yup, less than 24 hours later, the poor bloke called me. I was not interested really, but he was very persistant. conversation went a little like this:
Bloke: Hi vitamin, it was LOVELY meeting you last night.
Me: sorry, what's your name?
B: (whatever his name was), don't you remember me? do you want to meet up some time?
Me: um, I'm not really sure.
B: please? let's go to the cinema this weekend?
Me: um, probably not a great idea.
B: just one date wouldn't hurt would it?
Me: um, i've just got out of a serious relationship (yup, that old chestnut)
B: Saturday then?
Me: sorry bloke, I don't think so.
B: what time?
Me (totally fed up with him by now): actually, i've got an appointment with family planning on saturday, maybe after that?
B: Wha?!
Me (lying as if i want to work for Siralun sugar): yup, i'm pregnant, not sure whose it is, but i suppose all kids need a positive male role model in their life, so a date with you may not be such a bad idea.
B: *click* of phone hanging up.
i've no idea if there was any length to apologise for, i didn't let it get that far.

assertionYou didn't actually tell him no properly though did you? If you'd gone for 'No thanks, I don't want to' rather than the 'I'm not sure' approach I think you may have been more successful.
Be assertive!!
