It shouldn’t be very hard to get rid of him. Where there’s a Will, there’s a way. ---

> [@DekaJay](#): > > Friend of mine has been talking to a “will” character for the past 4 months and she’s hooked on him. She likes a new guy “Cesar” but doesn’t know how to get rid of and over the old guy. Why does she want to, if she’s hooked on him, not “over” him, and he isn’t ditching her? Is she unable to date more than one person at a time? Believes it to be wrong or isn’t comfortable doing so for some reason? “Talking to” Will and “liking” Cesar somehow require sexual exclusivity? ---

As for Bob’s living conditions well, did you ever watch [Papillon](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070511/)? The irony burns 40 years on. It is perhaps a mercy that Bob never effected an escape, and that his sentence was thus fairly brief. ---

If “will” really is an old guy, just quit talking to him. He’ll most likely forget anyway… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-to-get-over-a-guy/809892.md?page=1)
