to 'ghost ' friend?

[Weather152]

Friend ( not a close friend) has been sending me lots of texts including asking to meet up . I'm really busy just now due to a work situation and other things and each time have replied letting her know this She sends me a lot of texts about other stuff too and I have been finding it too much Last time she texted to meet up I explained again why I was busy and I said ' catch up in a couple of weeks' She then sent me a curt reply to that and it's really put me off
She's since texted about other stuff and I've never done this before to anyone, but I just didn't reply
Her persistence in texting including to meet up has put me off and I feel like ' ghosting' which I've never done before ..
