I'd start off by asking him/her to stop and if that doesn't work I'd block the number and if he/she found a way to contact you again I would warn him/her that you are going to report him/her harassment and if he/she does it again report him for harassment

You should reply him in a mature manner. Although, if you're not comfortable with it, you could bring it up to him, and told him that you may need some space at the moment. Avoiding it wouldn't solve the issue, approaching it may :)

Simple solution. Block their number and just ignore them. Simple. Just don't talk to them and if it gets to harassment then tell someone

I recommend you speak to them and explain that they're bothering you or maybe block their account or phone number

Clearly state that you do not wish to be contacted, block them on social media, loose their number and ignore any other contacts, if you do not wish to interact with them any more.

If you have asked them to stop calling and it still persists there are several options. You could change the number, file harassment charges, you could just ignore the calls and let them go into your voicemail and then maybe your ex will get bored.

Listen for once and if you want let him be your friend to see how it goes. But if your heart feels that it is not right, move on and never look back.

If I am still interested, I would entertain my ex. If not, I will not care anymore. Even if my ex promises me to give me the world.

It's important to set boundaries. Oftentimes, breakups can be messy and boundaries aren't necessarily set. Take the time to talk to your ex and explain why them contacting you is making you uncomfortable and why you don't think it's a good idea that things continue the way they are. Remember to use I-messages, where you refer to yourself (your own feelings and thoughts about the situation), and do not place too much blame on your ex. By being assertive, your ex should be more accommodating to your needs and respectful of your space.

Block him. If it gets too much you can talk to someone who can help you to get your ex to stop with contacting you
