    I attract crazy people like lint, I must have 'come talk to me nutjobs' written on my face in ink only they can read.... It's bizarre! *Next time you meet her bring a scribbled colouring book and crayons and show her your 'art'...That's what I used to do when I lived in the city and people tried to talk to me on public transport! It works too!

    I use an online dating site and at times I'm going back and forth inboxing a guy and he'll then say "here is my number, it's easier to just text message"...which is true, so I usually text for a bit. The next thing you know they start calling.....I'm like no, we are texting friends, not phone call friends! :laugh: I'm not trying to be rude really, but I'm busy with my life, 2 kids, the gym etc when I'm not at work....I don't want to talk to you silly man! :laugh: Then I have to ignore them for a bit and hope they stop. Or then they just turn in to a texting maniac. :noway:
  • Yep happened to me so I shut down facebook and changed my number.

    Just do something, no one needs that crap.

    Oh and take down Countryboy's number, he has the best van...

    You need to stop having conversations with ladies you bump into around town. S**T maybe its your town. It is just inhabited with Bat S**t crazy people
  • The texting lady, she could just be lonely and maybe bipolar. Its dumb, I know but I'm kinda the same way. I mean, I won't send twenty texts but I always feel like people don't want to talk to me or are mad at me when I've done nothing. Just have a chat with her and calm her nerves.

    The facebook lady, just hide her posts. Its a simple fix.

    Scenario 1 - Respond to your texts and she wouldn't have to text you 20 times
    Scenario 2 - Just delete her

    But... but I'm not allowed to text at work. If I'm caught with my cellphone I'll be fired. ;(

    So you've never had a crazy offline to online friendship story?

    Have you told her that? Some people have low self confidence and if you don't respond right away assume they did something or there is a reason you are not responding to them.

    No I have not. I do not think weirdos are drawn to me.

    had a situation where there is this girl in a mutual group of friends. I know she doesnt like me, weird jealousy or something. I tried to keep things decent between us, to keep things civil in the group. Shes added me to fb , followed me on twitter. She will make comments directed towards me or talks about me to other ppl. I eventually deleted her off FB but she went crazy and msgd me and got her bf to msg my hubby about it. I eventually re-accepted her friend request cause she wouldnt quit and I cant get out of seeing her socially., but I just hid her from my newsfeed. Some ppl are so weird. They become obsessive over things I suppose.

    I don't speak to strangers!

    I can't STOP speaking to strangers!!! It's like a sickness. I just love everyone! Until they get all weird and freaky on me. :P

    Hi! Text me at 010-867-5309 so I can add you to my collection. I mean, my contacts.!!!

    Jenny, is that you?!? I knew you changed your number on me!

    Jac, we're friends.


    Your argument is invalid.

    I had not considered that. :) I'm meeting her tonight for a coffee date so maybe I'll just chat with her and see if that calms things down. At the moment the barrage of texts kind of freaks me out.

    I'm a pretty chill person. If people don't contact me I assume they're busy. If they don't contact me for months, I don't even notice. ): *is horrible* I never thought about how insecurity could lead someone to assume the worst if they don't have a response immediately.

    Goes to show you CAN'T be friends with everyone, nor should you be. People should earn your friendship, and meanwhile will have your respect and kindness. They won't dislike you any less. However I don't blame you for scenario 1, I would have probably exchanged numbers at that point too. No loss though, just delete her and block her number. You don't have to take that crap! Btw, do you really feel your life is in danger with her? I hope not!!
    Scenario 2, if it were me I'd confront her in person since you consider the two of you to be friends. Tell her you really don't appreciate passive aggressive comments. Whatever her response is, that *kitten* should end either with her stopping or you deleting her from your life.

    You have dial up down here...Uh, here and I have learned to become a lefty
  • I have friend who I know from church on my FB. We don't say two words to eachother in person, but we can talk for hours online. Then I met someone online who was a freak, but started out sweet. She started out this super Christian girl, and turned into a "tell me all about your sex life" girl while she would share explicit stories with me. I then discovered SHE was actually a MAN in his 20's. (I was 15)

    Sooo..... did you?

    You failed at life as soon as you used facebook.
    If you want any salvation, don't delete her from your FL - delete your account as a whole.
    I don't pity those who do it to themselves!

    I think something about being online sometimes makes people say things they shouldn't. I do have a couple of friends that every single thing they post is mean. And I wonder how they got that way...I have no answer. Know that your second "friend" is probably dealing with jealousy issues.

    1st one. tell her you dont respond to texts during working hours... if she doesnt understand change your numbers.
    2nd one is easy just delete you said you were friends with her fiance not her. you are not obligated to be her friend.

    Nah. Just won't happen. It's not like she wants to be besties and you are pushing her away. You said it's apparent she doesn't like you anyway

    LOL. No! But I made a bunch of stuff up to make him curious, then blocked him.
