"Stop returning any phone calls or emails for weeks, and start seeing someone else in the meantime. That'll do it every time!"

I wouldn't recommend this method at all (and would never break up with someone like this) because the other person waiting by the phone for weeks is probably very upset and depressed. Much better to be upfront and honest.

I didn't give out anything as bad as this.
And what's wrong with not wearing underwear?

er, yes, what he said. *sheepish*

I'm with Captain Ob...er, FW. I wear underwear maybe five days out of the month.

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

That's it. I'm now officially a lesbian.

Yes, but I'll be willing to bet you shower a bit more often than that. If he doesn't wash his body what makes you think he washes his clothes? Ick!

PEACE.

Wait. Did Pal Joey actually recommend therapy as a breakup?

You're such a New York Elitist.

True. I shower and wash my clothes regularly.

Well, yes, I do. (Twice a day, usually, and I have an armada of yummy-smelling products that I employ for the in-between time).

God, you poor woman. You really *should* consider lesbianism.

I think it's a lack of self-confidence. I'm a pretty good-looking girl, I'm very smart and I have a good sense of humor. I should find someone who atleast bathes more than once every two months.

Well, I've only scanned this... but if he's the clingy type that will take this badly, I can totally relate... been there not too long ago.

First and foremost, ALWAYS be honest, to a point. Tell him that you just need to move on, yadda yadda. But be honest, NOT hurtful. And say that you need time away. Now, this is the important part, because if he's the clingy/won't let go type, he's going to continually call you, tell you he misses you, etc. And you need to be strong... and not take his calls. Or answer any emails. Truly... it will only prolong his neediness. And he will get over you.

Perhaps give him a little Tshirt?

I don't wash my hair every day either. But it's not like I don't wash it for months at a time. I mean, his hair...it's so gross...it's so greasy and it just lays there on his head...

Her: Listen.. I need to talk to you about something and it really stinks

Him: I'm showering tonight

Her: Well good. But that's not what I meant exactly. I just mean that things aren't so pearly white anymore

Him: Oh.. and I'm going to brush my teeth

Her: Errr.. well. Hmmm. How do I say this without hurting your feelings?

Him: Oh baby, you know you can always be honest with me. We shouldn't have secrets. You're my sun, my moon, my st-

Her: I don't think we should see each other anymore

Him: -ars, you are.. wait, what?

Her: I'm breaking up with you

Him: Why. Is there someone else?

Her: Not yet. But this just isn't working. I'm sorry

Him: Is it something I did

Her: These things just happen. Let's not lay blame.

Him: Can we still be friends? You mean so much to me

Her: I need time alone. Please understand.

Him: How much time? Can I call you tonight?

Her: I have to go..

Craig, wow, that could definitely be a conversation between me and him. I'm not kidding. Like, word for word.

See, not washing your hair daily isn't such a thing...but bathing? HECK YEAH! I showered three times in one day during our heat wave last week.

Haha, Craig, you gave me my second laugh of the day. i'm still laughing.

And Jaily you gave me my first with that pink butt-smelling rabbit.

I was going to mention this earlier, but my computer messed up.

I think you should get a new screen name. IHeartMyGeek doesn't sound appropriate anymore.

You could also say to him...

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Well, it's hard because I do like geeky guys. Like, I never liked George Clooney or BRad Pitt--I always thought Conan O'Brien and David Hyde Pierce were much hotter. So I think IHeartMyGeek will probably stay, just because I will probably continue to date geeky guys in the future.

In all seriousness, and as surprised as I am to be saying this, Sueleen's advice on the bottom of the first page is good, especially, for your situation. Although, you might just want to block his calls and keep your number.

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be enbered with your old nonsense. ~ Emerson

Sometimes you hurt your hair more than you help it if you wash it every day. Even the Queer Eye guys will attest to that one.

No a true New York Elitist would recommend they have their attorneys work everything out.

"...it's so greasy and it just lays there on his head..."

That comment warranted it!
