Better than Aesop

We've all been there - trying to shake someone who seems a little "too interested" in us. I was thinking about this on the way home, and then remembered a hilarious story a friend once told me. I think I can remember the notable points.

He had a pseudo-dating thing going on with this girl a couple years ago and she was apparently waaaaaayyyyy more into him than he her. I think she was even stopping by his place unannounced. Yikes! As he reached suffocation-status, and approached her with the thought that he didn't want to see her anymore - he told her he had to go into Rehab - and that he would be unreachable for a few months.

This strategy in a city of 8M worked pretty well until she called him a few months later. He had long deleted her number - so he answered the call. Busted. Guess he had to come "clean."
