I just reunited with a male friend of mine. We were never romantic and I don't have any interest in being with him that way...ever. But he's a great friend. I know he has a little crush on me, but he's never crossed the line and has been very respectfull that way.

However.... since he's come back into my life, he calls way too much. Im a very introverted girl and don't really care for phone calls. My girls don't even call that much. When he leaves a message, he say's "Call me". I don't like being told to call anyone unless it's important. He also has been very persistant about getting together. (He live's a few hours away) He does it the same way, "come down next weekend" or "I'm going to come up there in a month so we can hang out." Its a bit too abbrasive for my liking and pretty annoying. We've been freinds for so long and I don't want to upset him. How should I handle this?

Be honest. Just let him know your uncomfortable with the way hes been since he got back. That your really glad to see him and hang out with him again but sometimes its alittle too much to handle. I'm sure if you explain whats wrong he'll understand.

I have a friend like this.. she has no reason to call.. she just calls and leaves 100 messages telling me to call her.. of course I don't but still it's fucking annoying. I just tend to ignore it.. not sure what else to do. If I tell her she will have a massive sooky hissyfit.

that sounds fucking annoying. i'd feel sorry for him were it not for this:

i would just get rid of him if i were you, but then again i have very little tolerance for people like this. you could make it seem like youve moved on and too busy for him now.

i had a friend who would call a million times per day and it got a bit much by the time we had both left school. she basically treated me like a brick wall to sound all her problems off of. it was the last straw when didn't invite me to her birthday even though we'd been friends for almost 10 years & i had to listen to all her crap the whole time. when i told her i didnt want to be friends with her anymore she didnt even understand what she'd done to piss me off

I had a friend like that and I did tell her to stop calling so much. She had a an extremely rational hissyfit and since then I haven't talked to her in about a year (for other reasons as well).
