There's this girl that keeps calling me her best friend and she constantly clings to me. She's an ok person and I think of her as a friend who'll I talk to once in a while, but in no way do I consider her to be my best friend. She's a nice person and I don't want to hurt her feelings, but how do I get her to leave me alone?

That's what I said, and the girl had no problem with it. Her feelings didn't get hurt either. Hope I helped! [ KiMb3rLyxMiChEllE's advice column | Ask KiMb3rLyxMiChEllE A Question ]

Just keep being nice to her but try detaching from her if you really do dread being her "best" friend. --But please don't tell her to leave you alone--imagine if one of your best friends tells you that they don't want to hang out with you just as much anymore...Wouldn't you be hurt? I know I would.
If you really just want to get away from her, don't tell her, but try to slowly detach. If she passes you in the hallway, smile & wave. Don't keep leading her on, because eventually, you'll explode on her, and she will be extremly hurt. [ mn731's advice column | Ask mn731 A Question ]
