How do I get rid of a leach?

I me this guy on myspace and we started chatting. He seemed decent and put me as his top friend, which was sort of wierd, but I didn't read into it and was even a little flattered. Then he said he would like to take me out to dinner, so I gave him number. Um, yeah...that was a BIG mistake! He texts me constantly and if I don't text him back right away he'll keep texting or send me a "hello????" message on myspace. The first time we had spoke on the phone he said within 2 minutes "I really like talking to you." How could he know that after 2 minutes? And he kept saying that all throughout the conversation. He is so clingy and needy...ick, no way!
But how do I go about getting rid of this guy? I want to be nice, because he's just a dork...he didn't really do anything wrong. In the past I've used the excuse that I've gotten back together with an ex-boyfriend and that usually works to get rid of guys without hurting their feelings, but now that I'm on myspace I don't have the luxury of privacy and he'll be able to see that I'm still active and guys are still on my page.
Help? Does anyone have any ideas for ditching this dork?

Well...you can always say that you have contracted a virus that keeps you aways from any type of communication device at all...
But, I would be nice and diplomatic...say that you just need time to re-evaluate everything and take some SPACE for yourself in other words you are NOT INTERESTED without saying it exactly...hopefully he will get the hint. If not, he may be one of those people that you have to be very very direct with without being too cruel.
Good luck

Send him an email saying, "X, after giving it some thought, I don't think we are a good match. Take care".
Then block him from emailing and texting you. Can you block him on myspace too? You probably can't block him from calling but hopefully he'll stop calling if you don't answer.

I know some people will think this is rude, but when I've been in similar situations with guys I've never met in person (or, in one situation where I got fed up with a guy I met up with just once in person), I just:
A. delete the person from my myspace and block them from contacting me
B. don't answer their calls or return them
C. block them from emailing me
I had one this summer. I got really drunk while celebrating pride weekend with my gay boyfriend and his roommate. I fell to many times, got escorted out, and stupid me I wandered off. Walked a half block ended up by the subway station. Met my leach he drove me home. I know BAD THING! But while in my intoxicated stage I gave him my number I talked to him told him I didn't want to go out with him he would call me and say "I am around your house come downstairs and see me"
I finally got fed up and when he would call I would pick it up and set my cell on the table or i would flip my phone open and hang up on him. Neither worked. Until I called him at like 1 in the morning and woke his ass up. Why you calling me this late? I don't want you to call me anymore and your not getting the hint. He said all he wanted to do was to sleep with me. I am thinking who says that I would give you the time of day. He stopped calling. I also found an option and blocked his number on my phone.
OK, I think that's a little extreme and not the most mature way to handle it.
