doesnt work at all. you know youre lying when you say it. you just dont want to be mean. its just messy. its almost better if you just disappear and act like you never knew the person. that is what it will be like anyway.
you know what's always good...move to another country...and shut off your phone. and then be like "what, i told you about this! why didn't you come to my goodbye party, JERK!" that's a good thing to do.
