Is it necessary to tell him?\n\nIf you tell him, realize that it is for him, not you.  Also realize that it may help him, and may just as easily hurt him.\n\nAll you need to do to for yourself is keep busy doing positive things with your life.  There is no reason for you to have time for him.  Enroll in some courses to learn new things and meet new people.  Get caller ID.

Gossip is an ugly habit.  Ask him not to do it again.  Give him another chance.  But just one more chance, and if he shows that he'd rather gossip than be your friend, drop him.

Ok..you need to talk to them. Ask them why they have such a problem w/ you. Tell them that youre not talking to the devil & thats crazy anyways. Tell them that you have asthama & would never encourage your friend to do something that would hurt them in the long run. Tell them that youre actually trying to make her stop. Theres nothing you can do if they dont listen then. Even have your friend be there to help discuss so she can back you up on it. Good luck hun.

Confront her about it. Then tell her that you will not tolerate it anymore. Tell her that you will put an end to your friendship if it continues. You can always ask her what is her reason for doing it and why she is doing it.

He is your friend, if that is the case then you won't have any problems. Talk to him really nicely, about how nice he is and stuff then little by little tell him what you don't like about him, hmm let me think.. or you could make up a fib or something a white lie if your up to it. Don't go straight to the point since you don't want to hurt his feelings.

Tell him to accept your decision not to join and if he doesn't stop bothering you about, you can't be friends with him anymore. He's trying to change you into something you don't want to be, and if he wants to change you he obviously doesn't respect who you are as a person.

I, too have drifted away from friends I know since childhood. The best thing to do is have a peer mediation. Sounds totally, dorky, right?  Talk to her privately, so no one get embarrassed and tell her your honest feelings. i know it may be hard at first, but trust me, once you get going, it'll be easier. Set up some rules, like no interruptions, and let her talk. Tell her she's been hurting you, and that she's too bossy! don't raise your voice or tell her you hate her though. =P LET HER TALK TOO! Maybe she's been going through something. when my friends and I did this, I let them talk also. WE all ended on the floor bawling, but it was GOOD. I felt...RELIEVED. My friends and I are A LOT happier, and now, we know to talk BEFORE we blow up. Let her say what she needs too, but IF SHE starts getting aggressive, or rude-WALK AWAY. You don't deserve that. Maybe your friendship can be salvaged, most likely no, but at least you won't end the friendship on bad terms. Tell her that this is what's best for both of you, and you know longer desire her he company. Be the better person and walk away if things get ugly.\nGod bless, hun!

you cant avoid hurting him just make it clean and simple, dont lose control, and be extremely clear on why( pull no punches). Never ask to be friends it's the worst thing a guy can hear because it sends mixed messages.

Whatever you do you should handle it calmly and spare his feelings. Because right now like you said he hasn't gone too far but yes if you fear it will go beyond what you want it to be then is best to resolve it quickly. handle this face to face and be strong about it. Tell him that you feel that your friendship with him seems a little too personal and it makes you feel bad and you do not want to feel bad at all. That you cherish the friendship but it will never be anything but a friendship. If he can not understand or accept it then I suggest you end it completely.

Maybe you used that word "friend" to loosely... a friend wouldn't just close you out with no explanation If he's pulling that "passive agressive" '...I'm not gonna talk to you because I know you want me to but I want to make you suffer' routine... my guess is you really are fortunate that he has backed away from you. Hey, you know what is really great? When you just go on with your life in a joyful positive way and he eventually wants to talk with you again but then YOU have nothing to say and just go on with your business. \n\nI'm not saying to do this as revenge, just as a great way to protect yourself from having negative people in your life. Your "friend" may even learn how very immature his behavior is and actually learn to communicate his feelings.\n\nGood Luck and don't hurt.

Yes you should. Also, if your afraid by telling that you will lose his friendship, and just don't want to, then consider talking to you counselor and explaining the situation. They are trained to handle situations like this.

if he keeps asking you to do things that you don't want to do, then forget about him.  and your friend is not much of a friend if she did that.  forget about both of them.

In front of a large crowd, tell him in a loud tone, GO AWAY, I don't want to have ANYTHING to do with you.\n\nIf he doesn't get the hint after that, tell your teachers. At that point, it is harassment. They can get involved after that.\n\n\nOH and of course this is all necessary if you haven't tried to calmly and maturly tell him you don't want to talk to him anymore. Tell him why. Be nice about it. Only be pissy if he DOESN'T get the blunt conversation. Otherwise, if you haven't directly told him, it is YOUR fault he is still talking to you. Some guys are dense and don't get hints. Respect him enough to talk to him before you humiliate him.
