You can't control how another person feels - but you need to just say that you don't find your conversations with him very stimulating and you need to not spend as long on the phone. Or you can just say you are not a phone person.

Would it be better to lie to him? Just say, I can't talk right now I'm busy, was there anything important you want to tell me? Then don't get caught up explaining why your busy, if he asks, just say, well I am, I have to go, I'll talk to you some other time. If his feelings get hurt that easily, he's got a tough life ahead of him. Your not being mean or rude, your just maintaining control over your own time. Of course, you could say nothing for however long he drones on and really build up some good resentment, your choice.

I need to go i'm really really tired and would like a nap. Or Your tummy hurts and you want to lay down. Or you have a head ache. If he's a persistant basterd tell him your mom need's your help with somthing. I had a head ache once and i tried to get rid of this guy. And oh my he just wouldn't shut up. But you do get rid of them eventually.

...wait till you see him and tell him to his face!!....only kidding, that would be honest and a bit cruel.
...seems fairly obvious that you dont fancy him so I guess you need to get that across to him in as nice a way as possible.
..the only way I can think of to stop him boring you on the phone would be to start boring him by talking about Girl things
or stuff you know he doesnt like........thing is, if he likes you a lot he would happily spend hours listening to your voice...like reciting the phone book would be like "Love Story" to him.........anyway dont suffer in silence...just try to let him down easy....good luck.

If you don't want to hurt his feelings, you're going to have to lie. Tell him you would love to keep talking to him, but you need to do something, i.e., reroof the house, change the oil in your car, paint your room. Eventually he'll get the hint and keep it short and sweet.

Change the topic or say that you have to go. Depends on what he's talking about...is it something like sports or cars? Or is it about his family.
If it's a topic you have no background in, tell him you really have no interest in what he's talking about. If it's about his family or something else...get him talking about something else.

Just tell him you don't like to talk on the phone that you have other stuff to do.

well, it depends. if you want him to get lost and never call you, then just tell him so!!! lol
but, when you dont wanna hurt him, then just tell him things you wanna hear. tell him what he is talking about is not interesting, but offer him something else to talk about. dont let him talk too much tho! just be honest, and thoughtful. everything will work out great!

Try talking to him about something exciting that happened to you. Try to talk about something that will be interesting to him and you at the same time and he won't suspect you are bored of hearing him talking.

Don't. Make something up like, " Someones at the door, I gotta go, I'll call you back."
Or, "My mom says I've got to go grocery shopping with her, so I gotta go."
