dumping a "friend"
how do i dump an acquaintance who just won't leave me alone. I don't want to hurt his feelings because we see each other frequently in the group of friends we share. How can I tell him that I want nothing more than to have a cordial relationship. No dinners with our spouses, no golf games, no drinks after work. We are both in our 50's.
Thanks.

If you're not comfortable flat out telling him, as the other people suggested, you could always just say no when he wants to make plans- politely, of course. Every time he asks, make an excuse- you're busy, you're too tired, etc. He'll get the hint eventually, and if he does ask why, then you can explain. It's not the nicest or most honest way to do it, but sometimes it's just easier.

I think you should just tell him how you feel. I would start it off as I dont want you to take this the wrong way but.. i hope i helpped a little and good luck

Ah , well first of all , I think you should sit down and just talk to him. Be calm , just start out with something nice be like I am glad we have this relationship , but I think you know , just make it relaxing and a nice atmosphere and tell him how much you like his company , BUT let him know that sadly , unfortunatley , we cannot and give him the reasons why , make him want to buy it like persuade him to why you and him shouldn't , as long as you are happy and comfortable with him in a right place at the right time , I am pretty sure he will get heart broken BUT he will also , be aware and glad you told him.
Good luck girl :)
- I am sure you can work this out!
