Clingy, jealous guys

I don’t like ghosting guys. I just can’t do it because it seems unnecessarily cruel. However, I appreciate that sometimes it would be very useful, especially when dealing with guys that are lowkey stalkery. So, for those that don’t ghost, what’s the most bizarre reason / thing you’ve said to get a guy to leave you alone?

I’ll go first. One guy, who started off quite sweet, started getting really, really jealous of me hanging out with friends. He and I had only gone on two dates, hadn’t gotten physical, but when I casually mentioned I was changing jobs he flipped out and said I never ran it by him first. That was a major red flag to me because we weren’t in a relationship and he was acting like we were. Things escalated from there and he doubled down on being a messy bitch. So, I lied and told him that I was moving to Texas for a job. He flipped out before blocking me.
