[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a lot of reactions to your post — in part because I have one “friend” who frequently reaches out to me — but not to others in our group.  She needs a friend, and, to me, it feels like she’s choosing to reach out to me for issues that have little to do with our actual compatibility or any shared interests.  I feel put on the spot by her efforts. At the same time, I don’t want to hurt her by bluntly explaining why being a pleasant acquaintance is the most that I feel up for.

So, OP, what sort of script or behavior would you feel comfortable with coming from a prospective “friend” who doesn’t want to be too blunt or hurt your feelings — but who might be genuinely perplexed that the “take the hint” behaviors that they’re responding with are apparently not direct enough to be understood?

This is a real question, and I appreciate your help with it.  Your response might also give us insights that can lead to useful suggestions for you in your situation. [/quote]
