Anytime you try to make contact, he cuts the conversation short.
Bring up work, school or any other excuse to justify the fact that
he has to run. He is sure to point out that he loves whatever it is
that is taking up all his time and that he wouldn't change a thing
about his life.
Not true. We can be honest at times. 
Tell you he has a friend that is perfect for
you
After he's decided you are not the one for him, he uses the
information he gathered to push you onto another person. Point out
how his buddy also cried when he saw the movie What Dreams May Come
or any other common points you guys may have. His buddy may be
annoyed, but at least he'll be rid of you.
True. 
Subtly highlight clashes of opinion
Politics, morals, values there are all kinds of hot-button issues
he can subtly drop that will turn you off. If he knows you are a
smoker, he spouts off something negative about tobacco.
Sometimes its just a clash of opinions. Nothing more.[/b]
No lah, if they are free usually they'll be quick to counter
offer another day mah. So everytime tell you he is not free so the
problem is not his schedule liao. The problem is me - such is
life.
