Facebook question
So all you active facebook users...you know how people contact you from your past and you're like "ok, whatever, I'll accept the friend request". You never really talk much, just the friendly "hi, how are you, gorgeous family, you look great, etc." You don't expect or even want more than that.
Weeeell, what do you do when an old friend from 25 years ago continues to send you messages and asks "not sure if you got my last message, so I figured I'd try again...do you want to get together, we don't live too far from each other, I would love that, etc.".
I know this will sound harsh, but what if I just don't want that type of relationship anymore? An occasional "what's up" on FB or email is enough. What do I say and how do I say it without coming off like a MEGAbi***???? I can't just ignore her anymore...that is even more rude, I think.
Any advice would be appreciated!!

Re: Facebook question
Can't block her...I think that would be too rude and just not my style...
Does anyone have any suggestions how to handle this with kid gloves? Please?!

Re: Facebook question
I would just tell her I did get your last message but my life is hectic these days. Once things slow down I'll contact you. For now, it's nice catching up this way on FB.
Maybe she will get the hint when you don't contact her.

Re: Facebook question
i know you don't want to block them--and consider that rude--but isn't ignoring their msgs bad too? i say just be direct and say you're really not into meeting up--you really just wanted to be on FB to catch up with old friends and chat online now and again...and that's it. just be honest.

Oh, I completely agree! That's why I don't want to ignore her messages and want to write back. I just want to write the right thing, KWIM?

Re: Facebook question
I like the honesty approach..
"It is so nice keeping in touch through FB.. but it's been 25 years and I feel like too much time has passed to really want to connect 'offline'. I hope we can continue to keep in touch through Facebook though!"
