I'm just saying -- what gives? This stuff about "this guy isn't taking the hint" and "talk to other people in the room while you're on the phone" is ridiculous.

WHAT hint? She's still picking up the phone! And talking to him! And returning his calls! And how is acting distracted while on the phone going to solve the problem?

She obviously LIKES the attention from him, or she wouldn't keep talking to him. So basically she's enjoying telling anyone that will listen that this guy is SO all about her and SO just can't let her go and blah blah blah, please think I'm desireable.

Be an adult. If you want the attention, date him. If you don't want the relationship, quit talking to him. But quit talking to him, returning his calls, chit-chatting, and generally being two-faced when you're turning around and telling everyone ELSE that she just can't make him understand the relationship is over. How is it over? The only thing you're not doing anymore is having sex!

When she's actually ready to be an adult, she'll realize EXACTLY what everyone else is saying -- that the only way to cut contact is to cut contact.

Shocking idea, but it works.
