Told him it is over, and he continues to call, and whine, and cry. I met someone by introduction and we just hit it off. Didn't mean to hurt the former friend but crazy about this new guy.

Stop answering his calls.

I agree, either that or change your phone numbers...

@ talaniman... I can't ever seem to be able to give you any rep, it always gives me an error message.

Why do you keep picking up the phone, and why do you continue to listen to him whine and cry. Particularly now that clearly the relationship is over, and you have found someone else.

Every time you engage in a conversation with your (now) ex, you give him hope. Any communication at all, has him thinking there is still a chance.

He is dangling from a thread that you have not completely severed.

Please block his number, and let him go. Stop communicating with him. If you continue, he will not accept the end of the relationship.
