Say you enjoy spending time with her every now and then, but you'd appreciate it if you could have some space to see your other friends. If she really is a true friend, she'll understand and back off. There's nothing mean about it and if she does happen to take it the wrong way, she needs to grow up and realize that she is not the only person in your life.

Something like this happened to me in the past and I just went up to the girl and told her that "I wanna do this by myself - for once. I don't do it to you and you hell well know how it pisses me off. So, please...just respect that. For once." She was my best friend, and not just a good friend or anything.
We don't talk anymore, but what the ell =). You can't keep a friend close for more than 3 years if you live in the Middle East and are not from the region.

Be upfront and honest with her. Nothing's worse than hearing from one friend that another friend thinks you're annoying and blah blah blah.
If she can't get with your program, she isn't cut out for it. [ killerface's advice column | Ask killerface A Question ]
