Lose a Guy in 10 Days

If you're curious about losing a guy in 10 days, like Kate Hudson did with Matthew McConaughey in the movie How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, it's probably not all that hard. Of course, the two characters in the movie really did end up together after ten days were up, but we're talking make-believe here. Remember, if you want to break up with a guy, the easiest and surest way is to tell him, straight up. If, however, you want to want to lose him in a matter of days, without going through the breakup talk, here are some surefire ways to do it.

Steps

Losing Him Using Indirect Methods

  1. Never say "I love you," "please," or "thank you." Don't show him that you appreciate him in any meaningful way. In fact, don't acknowledge any nice thing he does for you. Men want to be acknowledged by their girlfriends, and when they stop getting that acknowledgement, they start looking for other options.
  2. Periodically avoid his phone calls, e-mails, and instant messages. When he tries to communicate with you from afar, make it hard for him to get through. If communication is the lifeblood of a relationship, cutting it off will deal a swift death to your relationship.
    • Have excuses ready like "Oh sorry, I couldn't find my phone," or "Sorry about that, was hanging out with Jake; he's so funny!" The more vague you are about your whereabouts, the better. He'll simmer with jealousy and doubt.
    • If he wants to know why you're never around anymore, or don't have time to talk to him, tell him something like: "My life is really starting to take shape right now; I'm trying to juggle more responsibilities and still find time to have fun."
    • Don't apologize for not being present. This will send him the message that you're going to try to make more time for him in the future, which you're obviously not trying to do.
  3. When you do talk to him, have nothing to say. Be engaged in exciting and vivid conversations with everyone else in the room, but when it comes to him, make him figure out the conversation. This not-so-subtle sign will definitely have him wondering whether he's the right fit for you.
    • If you get a phone call, walk out of the room and let him sit there. If he and another person start talking to you at the same time, look at and talk to the other person before turning to and talking to him.
  4. Have more fun around other people. These people can include your coworkers and boss, your friends and acquaintances, and family. As your boyfriend, or at least as someone close to you, he wants to be able to make you happy, and see the results of that happiness. If you send him the message that other people make you happy but that he doesn't really do the trick, you'll lose him in no time flat.
  5. Don't carve out time for him. In a working relationship, people make time for one another because they like each other and get satisfaction from being together. Your relationship is different, or you want it to appear different.
    • Work late and don't let him know you'll be home late. If he questions your dedication to your relationship, tell him that you take your dedication to your job just as seriously.
    • Always have lots of errands to run. Guys hate the idea that other people would rather do errands than hang out with them.
  6. Forget everything you ever knew about hygiene. If you don't mind being thought of as smelly (but still hot), don't shower when you're with him. Don't shave or wax. You won't win any new points in his book — but that's kinda the point, isn't it?
  7. Avoid physical affection. This works best if you have been affectionate with him in the past. A man craves physical affection — it's what makes them feel emotionally close to a woman. If you starve a man of his physical affection, he'll question why he's in a relationship in the first place.
    • If you really want to throw him off guard, give him the wrong type of affection. Give quick hugs, pats on the back or the shoulder, and ruffle his hair. He'll hate this because it's so close to real physical affection, yet so far away. He'll start to feel like you're only friends because that's the type of affection you're showing him.
  8. Be vocal about the things you dislike about him. If he wears his favorite shirt out on a Friday night, tell him that you don't think it looks so good on him anymore. Tell him that you've never liked the smell of his cologne. Tell him to get a manlier car. Asking him to change his lifestyle or his likes is a great way to lose a guy molto presto.
  9. Be sarcastic with him all the time. "Yeah, sure," "You always do it the right way, baby," and "If the world only had more than one of you" can all be turned into sarcastic zingers that will eventually make him feel less adequate. If you're consistently sarcastic with him and never forthright or real with him, he'll probably start feeling that things have changed, and that the change is for the worse.

Losing Him Using More Direct Methods

  1. Pick small fights and make him feel like he started them. Slowly but surely pick at every little detail and fight with him over it by saying something insulting or crabby. Then, blame all the fighting on him; act like you're innocent and had no part in the fight, and that he's the one who's making a mountain out of a molehill. Guys really hate feeling like they're the ones who can't shake things off and just be "cool."
    • Say that you're at the mall with him. Another hot guy walks by and you check him out. Your guy says "Were you just checking that guy out? You totally just checked that guy out!" You answer him with: "I'm insulted you would even say that. You always think I'm the one doing something wrong, but you conveniently never look at yourself first. I'm not even going to get into it because I respect you, something that you apparently don't have for me."
  2. Flirt with other guys in front of him. This is something that guys absolutely despise, because they want sole power to flirt with you, and any guy who takes that power away they view as a threat. Be aware though, that this can escalate quickly and cause some pretty heated exchanges, so be prepared.
    • The trick is flirting with other guys subtly enough so that when he brings it up, you can deny it and say that you're just being friendly:
      • Flirt with servers, bartenders, or retail workers and then say: "I'm just being friendly; I know how horrible it is to work as a server. I'm just trying to brighten their day."
      • Flirt with his friends and then say: "You say that being social with your friends is important to you, and then you try to cage me up like an animal and go on a witch hunt whenever I'm friendly to one of your friends. Ridiculous."
      • Flirt with random men you meet on the street or at restaurants and tell him you just have a special fondness for strangers. Will. Drive. Him. Crazy.
  3. Embarrass him in public. One little, under-the-surface insult will reap huge rewards later on. Men and women alike hate being embarrassed in public, especially by the one person who's supposed to protect them from that kind of exposure.
    • Tell other people when he does something wrong: "He's a little slow today; he forgot his ABCs right after he got out of grade school."
    • Call attention to him when he embarrasses himself. If he spills water at a restaurant, you could ask the server for a bib or a booster seat, for example.
  4. Start demanding things that you never demanded before. It's okay to become a princess if the reward is worth it. And the reward is, on both counts: you'll be able to get stuff in the bargain, and you'll make him feel that his whole worth to you is in what he can give you and what he can do for you, not in who he is as a person. That's pretty devastating stuff.
    • The trick is to demand things, not ask for them: expensive new jewelry, gift cards that you spend on other friends, trips that you take by yourself because you need time to "re-evaluate." Sometimes, even just asking for these things will drive him up the wall.

Tips

  • Instead of avoiding and ignoring him, you could be very clingy, to the point where you're suffocating him. This could also make him dump you.
  • Always stay on the computer giving him no attention at all...wake up on it and fall asleep on it.
  • Sleeping with his best friend is a good way to hit the nail on the head, but be public about it. Basically, make sure his friend is a keeper.
  • Act like an adult and tell him you're not interested.

Warnings

  • DO NOT make his life a misery. It is known as tormenting and it is not a good thing
  • He'll dump you like you wanted and he might seek some sweet revenge.
  • He might end up dating your best friend one day and that'll be really awkward.
