Need some advice

I have a person on my FB we used to be really great friends back in junior high. She moved away and lost touch. She recently found me on FB about a year ago. She has also moved to around Tulsa. She wants to meet up, but I would rather just keep it acquaintaces that keep in touch every once in a while. Plus she's really needy. Actually she just texted me a moment ago about meeting on a certain day in March. I told her that was M's birthday party. She then asked if she could be invited. Who does that?

I really don't know what to say to her. Should I be really bold about it and just tell her that I don't have any intentions hanging out with her? I think it's going to have to come down to me "breaking up" with her.

  • I'd just quit responding altogether...I don't think she will get the hint if you are vague about it and I wouldn't want a confrontation either.  Sometimes ignoring is the best way to get your point across if you ask me!

    I would also ignore it.

  • If someone is that forward, I can't think of a nice response that will send the message you want to send (that you'd rather keep it very, very casual.) I wouldn't normally say this, but in this situation I agree that you just don't respond. If you say something like "unfortunately it's only for family" she'll just send you rationalizations like "But I won't be any trouble, I swear" or "Oh good--you and I used to be just like family!", I suspect.

    If you can pull it off (and want to put this to rest) you could say something like, "Susie, you know that I enjoy touching base with you now and again, but unfortunately I'm not able to do more than that at this time. I wish you the best." But I don't think I'd even do that in this situation.
