Oooh, Selfy, it's so hard to get rid of what's safe, I have that problem all the time. Can you "replace" him with another friend so you don't have time for him? Get a girlfriend to pledge a lot of time for a couple weeks or join a group he's not part of, etc.? Just don't have enough time for him, whether you're hyper or not. Make a little list of things you want/need to do and keep it with you and suddenly have to do one of them if he comes around.
