Well see some random person .. She is very nice and stuff but OMG!! I didn't know the person will be messaging me 24/7 lol... I try to not respond back but she just doesn't give up. I have to say she very nice and IM not a big person on hurting others feelings. I try to keep the conversation short it works sometime and I just stop responding but then later on she sort asks the same question but in a different way. So Yeah.. -HOW DO YOU TELL SOMEONE TO LEAVE YOU THE HECK ALONE???

Just block her screen name from your IM. I have the same problem with this guy in Scotland. For more that a year he has been contacting me on Yahoo IM. I have been ignoring his messages and he still keeps sending hi messages. I don't feel the need to put his name on ignore because all his messages are "hi, are you there?" or Hi how are you" nothing threatening. I just don't want to be his friend is all but just like your acquaintance this guy wont give up.

Sounds like you have quite a case on your hands. This has happened to me before. But with some guy who kept texting me out of the blue all the time. We weren't even cool like that. I just kept ignoring him. Maybe that will do the trick. Just try that for a while. If she messages you, don't answer. Or just gently blow her off if you don't want to be upfront with her by always being busy or something like that. The best way though is to just tell her to ease off a little without being rude. But if you don't want to say anything yet in fear of hurting her feelings, try the other methods. But if those don't work, you will just have to be truthful with her.

Wow sounds like you have a difficult person to deal with. You can try the nice route and say something like I'm going to be really busy for a while wo if yo don't hear fromme don't worry. Or with somepeople you have to be straightforward. Tell her you appreciate your friendship but the constant messaging is starting to bother you. Hope you find a way to deal with her.

Well - this is a good time, & I'm not so sure if you're happy about this. BUT - a new school year is about to start. Perhaps tell her that you need to be left alone so you "can study & do well, & get that scholarship into New York University." Not too sure how well-known that institution is, but you need a miminum of an 85 overall average just to get accepted. At one time, there used to be two scholarships given out to the two best applicants. I'm not sure what they do now. I also paid a visit to their site, & here's the strange thing. They do not list their tuition & fees. That tells me that it's so expensive that they don't want to scare potential students away or have someone asking, "Is that your price or your phone number?"

Usually I take them aside and say, "I feel I should tell you something. I'm not a very social or talkitive person. I don't mind talking to you, you're quite nice. But could you give me just a little space more?" I usually also add, "My life's pretty hectic and busy, I'm just trying to explain so you don't feel like it's something you've done or said, as a reason why I can't talk to you all the time." Does this help? *hopeful face*

for that case, you can tell her in a nice way that you can't hurt her feelings... you should be honest of what you've feel, i already experience that kind of matter, I'm sure they can understand it and soon she will stop send you a message or maybe not 24/7 a day.

Hello payout,how are you doing? WOW,sounds that girl really want you,LOL. I guess,you should tell her your opinion,you do not like her,you even do not want to talk with her, you hope she can leave you the heck alone. You should tell her directly,or she maybe misunderstand you.So just tell her what is in your mind without hesitance.

Uhm. I have experienced that.. I told her straight that I don't want to be bothered and that I am not interested with whatever. Well.. I learned that if I try to be so careful about her feelings, nothing would happen because she won't really get the hint. Hinting didn't work. So I had to be frank with her. Try it.

I don't understand. Did she just accidentally ring you one day as a wrong number and then keeps ringing? Why does she keep ringing you, have you spoken to her? What random questions does she ask? It's a bit hard to tell u what to say when It's hard to understand the situation. It is nice you are concerned about not hurting people's feelings though.

I think being nice is not gonna help but you can help by telling her off by being straight with her. It's gonna hurt her feelings but as they say "the truth hurts", right? I have had similar situations before and i know how hard it is, you kind of feel like how i'm i gonna go around it in a way that she is not gonna feel hurt. or you can just start acting wierd maybe the reason she is on you that much is because you let her see that you are nice. So you just have to remove that impression and she will back off gradually. Just be truthful and straight with her, it will hurt her initilly but in the long run she will get to appreciate your decision!

Just be nice sometimes my friend talk to much too. the last thing you want is too hurt some ones feelings especially since you don't know the person all that well, she could be very fragile and take a rude comment quite seriously. SO sometimes after your done chatting your bits with her just say something like: "It's been really fun chatting with you but I gotta go now" then block her so she wont see you online or just go offline OR "Hey we should chat like this again, but now I've gotta go, So cya!" if you wanna remain online hit the away button and tell her that you'd be going to take a shower or you have an appointment or you need to go help a friend out.

get her to join us and let her read your page by accident-thats not too hurtful,but letting someone song and dance can be worst.
