For the past few months since December 2006, my guy friend has been calling me everyday. I never flirt with him to make him think that we have chemistry. He'd call me so early in the morning and when I'm in class. And when I do get his calls, he only calls just to talk, talk talk, talk, talk, talk, talk talk, talk, talk, about his problems of where he lives. I'm not saying I don't ever listen to my friend's issue. but he ONLY calls just to talk bout his drama and not really about mine. So, I stop getting his calls and *prayed* that he stop calling. But does he? NO! What do i do? Is there any way to block his number on my house phone?

yes call the phone company and ask them to block it.

It would be really rude and inconsiderate to just all the sudden start ignoring him and cutting him off. You should say something to him first, like, "____, There's something I need to tell you. I appreciate talking to you and everything, but lately it's gotten to be a bit much. I was thinking maybe you could call a bit less, since I need time do other things, too. Maybe once a week or so would be more appropriate."
Next time he calls early, tell him not to call before ____ in the morning or at a time where you are in class.
He'll get the message. He'll stop calling you. He won't be mad at you. He won't have his feelings hurt.
You won't lose him as a friend (joy, right?) You won't seem like a meanie.
It's a win-win situation!

Have you actually spoken with him about how you feel? It's entirely possible that he's not even aware that he's being unfair to you. There are a lot of people who are like that. The choice is yours. Try telling him that you simply can't be available to hear his problems all the time. You have things that you need to do and you simply don't have the time. If that doesn't work then tell him that you can't be his friend anymore. If that doesn't work, call your phone carrier and block his number.

He is an energy vampire. People like this suck all your energy by telling you all their troubles and getting you involved in all their dramas. When the conversation is finished, they feel great and you feel drained. You will have to bluntly tell him that you don't have time to talk. Say that you have to go, you'll call him later. Then call back in a couple of days or a week or whatever suits you. You will have to train him to call less frequently. If you don't ever want to talk to him, either have the courage to tell him directly or never call him back.

Why don't you just tell him to stop calling you so much? If he continues, you can have the phone company block calls from his number, but he can always use a different phone. You might also try having your phone number changed to an unpublished listing.

I was in the SAME situation. My friend called endlessly and talked ONLY about himself. He never asked how I was and when I tried to interject to tell him something about me, he'd change the conversation back to him. Oh, it was so annoying. Do you have caller ID? Just don't answer. Let it go to voice mail or answering machine. Hopefully, he'll get the hint.
In my situation, the answer was ... the guy got a girlfriend and now he NEVER calls anymore. So, if all else fails, try to hook him up. :) Good luck.

You can get his number blocked, but he won't understand why and that may hurt him in a way you wouldn't intend to.
Just tell him you must limit your talk time, so will have to keep the calls short. Then do it. 5 min down to 3 down again to 2. Not given the opportunity to talk might slow down the calls.

I Know this is annoying, but it's a bit harsh to block his number. Maybe you could talk to him and say your parents get annoyed because hes waking them up? The phone bills to high? Remember how you might feel if someone blocked your number. He's still your friend and it might not go too good if you do. Good luck,

You can block his number or just try to avoid him. the best thing to attempt to do would be just to tell him! change your number or beat him up. lol j/k. or let him know everytime he calls u that its annoying. o and sum advice, if u tell ur phone company u want ur number changed they will charge u. the only free way to do it if someone is harrasing u so tell them that he is and u can get it changed! u have the phone records to prove it! or get a man to answer the phone one day and let him know one good time not to call my "girlfriend" back. wink wink hint hint good luck

You should be honest towards him. Don't feel guilty that you will hurt him cause if you will not tell him this early, it will give him false hopes. It is better to talk the problem than avoiding him without explaining your side properly. He'll get over what you will say cause he is a guy.

Call the phone company and they change your number for 30 days, then change it back free of charge. I don't know why they have to change it back, but it should be long enough for him to quit calling. Good luck.
