According to the song by Paul Simon, there are "50 ways to leave your lover". However, he only lists a few:
1. You just slip out the back, Jack
2. Make a new plan, Stan
3. You don't need to be coy, Roy
/ Just get yourself free
(though this isn't really a way)
4. Hop on the bus, Gus
/ You don't need to discuss much.
5. Just drop off the key, Lee
/ And get yourself free.
In college, I sort of dated a gal named Raylene. We didn't really do much besides hang out at her dorm room. I was a good little...boy of a particular fundamentalist religion at the time, so we didn't do anything besides kissing. I had the impression at some point that she was interested in someone else. She confirmed it one evening by bringing me into her room and playing this song to me and looking at me meaningfully. We never spent time together again.
