Mahatma Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 I have this girl in my class that I've known for a year or so but have never really been good friends with her. This year I sat by her in one of my classes and now I'm regretting it. She is clearly coming on to me strong ... laughing at everything I say, even the stuff that isn't even that much of a joke and constantly says "oh you're so funny!!" She constantly is touching me to the point where im just annoyed...and now she wants to hang out. I DO NOT want to hang out with her because I'm not attracted to her in that way at all. I don't even want to sit by her because she is SO touchy and needy and I want to find a way to get away. Does anyone have a suggestion to get her to stop this? I'd rather not have to move because I'll have to move someone else in the class and I don't want to make this a big deal. HELP If it helps in your advice, we are both seniors in hs.
Curious139 Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 Ok you have enough sensitivity to ask what to do. Can I suggest that you treat her with kindness. Think about how you'd like to be treated if roles were reversed. I think you need to be quietly upfront. Tell her she is a good friend but those are the only feelings you have for her. Tell her you don't feel romantic towards her.
sedgwick Posted September 2, 2007 Posted September 2, 2007 There's always the option of talking about someone else you like (even if there's not really someone else) in front of her. That way she won't think it's about her (even if it is), she'll just think you're into someone else and maybe back off. If there's someone else who sits nearby whom you consider a friend, start talking to them about what a great date you had over the weekend, or about someone you're thinking of asking out. She'll get the message that you're not interested without you having to come right out and hurt her by telling her you don't like her.
