I was intimate with him once, and I was turned off by his hygene. I've been avoiding his calls, but he now calls me from different numbers. I dont want to sound mean either. What do I do/say?

All of the answers I've read are great, but I think the most important thing is that you're honest with him. If you were able to at one time be intimate with him, then you owe it to him to tell him the truth and stop stringing him along and making him think that everything's ok. Doing that puts you in the wrong big time. As for his hygene, that is an extremely sensitive issue which I'm not entirely sure how to handle.

Don't avoid his calls, just be honest and tell him you are busy and not interested in pursuing a relationship with him. Ask him politely not to call you anymore.
Personally, I wouldn't talk about the hygiene issue at this point. If you were to bring it up at all it should have been at the time you noticed it. Since you are ending contact with him it is not necessary.

Well Mrs, if u r a Mrs u really should know the answer by now! Why should u worry about being mean, tell him straight that u r not interested in him anymore and thanx but no thanx. Tell him that if he continues to ring u, u will not speak to him, but u will hang the phone up onhim, eventually he will get fed up and give up. Be firm, set boundaries with him and stick to them.

I'd tell him you're seeing someone else and he's getting uncomfortable with the frequency some other guy is calling you. Or you could tell him that you're just not interested!

i would say....
"I really don't want to be rude but I would appreciate it if you would stop calling me. I mean you can call me but only if there's an emergency or something but other than that I would like you stop calling me." that's what I would do. =]

Tell him you started seeing an old boyfriend. Its hard to compete with someone you history with.

Tell him that you are not interested in a relationship now.
