I have a classmate who has taken a little too much interest in me lately. She is a nice person but she is clearly not someone that I could spend more than a few minutes with at a time as she is quite self-centered as well. She has asked me on a few occasions to stay at school to study together and even though I politely told that I couldn't study effectively unless I am doing it alone, she still insists on us studying together, and even going for a coffee afterwords.
It seems as though she doesn't get the message. Any suggestions on how to make it clear to her without hurting her feelings?

Sometimes it is impossible to tell someone to "go away" without hurting their feelings. As hard as it may be, I would consistently say "no" when she asks you to study with her or go out for coffee. A person that is self-centered is not going to care about your feelings so telling her that you "couldn't study effectively unless I am doing it alone" is not going to work.

When selfcentered people are showing interest in someone other than their ownself, definitely there should be some point in it.
Just a thought .
Instead of saying no to her its better to spend a little time with her and then explain the discomfort you faced with her. This will never make u feel bad in future.

B, she wants you to do her homework, don't fall in that trap

Thanks for your input guys I'm glad we're off for a couple of weeks, I am hoping she won't be as ''sticky'' when we get back from the holidays.

I have dealt with this many times. Just keep ditching her, and she'll get it eventually lol. Try not to say too much when she talks to her. I think sometimes, you can bore someone out of your life Lol. I hope she starts leaving you alone soon!!

Yeah, she should get the message eventually, right? And I will definitely try the silent treatment as well. That should at least show her that I am not really interested, lol Thanks for the advice Brittany!
