Some Boys Don't Leave is the story of what happens when the break-up happens but the break does not. 'Boy' is forced to come to terms with the fact that 'Girl' no longer wants him around. The only problem is he just can't seem to leave their once shared apartment. 'Girl' decides to keep living her life around him; while he remains, watching at a distance. In time, each decides to go in his or her own distinctly different directions. 'Boy' soon finds that sometimes the greatest distance we are asked to travel is one within ourselves.

That was pathetic and creepy, but I did kinda liked it, I can't describe it but it has this yearning-pathetic thing to it that has its own charm

I really liked this short. Jesse Eisenberg is just a good actor.
The story was really cute and each character was constructed very well.
No man should ever try this trick though. This will most likely get the cops called.
