***Ladies, I feel bad, but she won't stop talking to me?***?

So I met this girl a while back, she's pretty cool, just not my type.

When I first met her we kinda clicked and ended up doing things like holding hands and hugging for a few days, but never really considered ourselves to be in a relationship with each other.

I enjoyed it for the few days it lasted, until she started being all depressing/mopey and started wanting to move way too fast (saying I love you, and wanting to kiss only a few days after we started all this). She was constantly (and sometimes still is) texting me saying she feels worthless, that she has no life, and so on. After about 5 or 6 times of her complaining like this, I got tired of reassuring her that she's on earth for a special purpose and to keep living life to the fullest.

I eventually told her I just wanted to be friends, no lovey dovey stuff, and no flirting (she said ok, that's fine), but it hasn't stopped her from texting me all the time, still complaining and saying I love you.

I almost feel like a jerk, but I didn't see this coming or I never would have began any sort of hand holding or hugging with this girl.

I mean, if she can talk to me without flirting or being negative, great. However, every time I reply to her text or emails it ends up with me leaving because she starts being flirty and such, and I've been very clear that I don't want that, that I just want to be friends.

What should I do? I mean, if I can't talk to her without her doing the things I've asked her not to, should I ignore her? I would feel horrible doing that to someone, but what else can I do?

    No one needs a "negative Nancy" in their life; she's just draining positive energy from you.

    The best thing to do at this point is just ignore her. Clearly, she can't follow simple instructions.

    There is nothing you can do to change somebody. You can ask one time but that if that didn't change her behavior its not going to happen by continuously asking her, & it sounds like to me something a lot deeper.

    You cant change her but you can change yourself, you really only have 2 options, that or stop talking to her.

    You can choose to be sympathetic to that fact that she has been through a lot of harsh things, suffers from depression (which is something a lot of people have no control over), going through a bad spell in life, or other issues that are causing her to be so negative and remain friends with her. If you do this you need to set personal boundaries for yourself. Had a hard day & tired out? probably not a good day to txt her back as she might bring you down more? If you are in a relationship, also probably not a good thing to discuss with her. Reply to her when its convenient to you, hopefully she will understand. Keep some space, being friends doesn't mean you have to be best friends.

    The other option is to cut her out of your life, sometimes people like this are just not a good mix and life and to much to handle. They start putting a lot of things on others and that of course isn't fair. Sometimes you have to just politely leave people.

    Its best for you to think to yourself whether you want her in your life or not. Ask yourself things like 'despite her complaining is she a good person? does she care about yours & other peoples feelings? dos she help others? Is her negativity something you can live with, would it bother you if you were hanging out with her or is it more of a mild annoyance? Why do you think she is this way? etc.

    Then you can decide which way is the best to go :)

    I'd say it might be time to cut this one loose. She doesn't seem to "get it" that you only want to be friends.

    She wants more and won't accept anything less. I don't think you could have a "normal" friendship with this girl. But, be nice about it and tell her you just don't think you can be friends as she wants more than you're willing to give.

    Cut ties with her and move on. She knows she is being inappropriate, and she has no real interest in being your friend. She just wants attention. You don't need to feel guilty about getting rid of her, she doesn't feel a bit of guilt about the way she's treated you. She's an emotional leech and won't let you go until you rip her off.
