one lady from school keeps ringing. i have already spoken to her over the weekend and said perhaps we can meet at some point. yesterday she phoned several times and its twice so far today (my phone is on silent) AIBU or is she?

YABU she is just calling to see when is a good time to meet up - just answer your bloody phone and tell her when you're free - or answer and say you will call her to discuss getting together. TBH I think your rude to be ignoring the phone.

"perhaps we can meet at some point" is rather vague.

If you don't want to meet up, just tell her. don't waft your hand about, say "oh, at some point" and hope she gets the hint.

If you DO want to meet up, answer the phone and arrange a date and time.

She's not unreasonable to be trying to get hold of you if she is under the impression that you want to make arrangements with her.

she could be phoning about something completely different that may have happened since you last spoke to her.

I don't understand why you wouldn't answer your phone if you have agreed to meet up?

compo · 17/02/2009 13:09

why did you say you'd meet up with her if you clearly don't want to?

LouMacca · 17/02/2009 13:41

think the OP is ignoring us now!

Are you screening your replies on here?

Just answer her once and she'll stop calling!

Perhaps you left something very important at hers when you saw her at the weekend and she is phoning to return it?
Perhaps she has won the lottery and wants you to come to the huge party?

hello.....
hello.....
i'll keep on till you answer.

hello.....

it sounds like you are trying to avoid her.It would just be easier to answer the phone and either make a date or if you don't want to meet her but can't face saying it, just say you will call her when you have had a chance to sort out a free date.

i have 3 month old DS and 6 yo DD, her sons classmate. DD is away on skiing trip so didnt think there was much point in meeting but maybe at some point though i am having a good clean at home, getting on top of stuff. dont want to be rude, thats why im in this situation. i saw them fri after school fgs, spoke on sat or sun, now shes calling several times a day and im busy. last time she phoned "to see how i was" i just dont need that level of care IYKWIM. i guess i will have to tell her. cringe.

sounds like she just wants to be your friend and is a bit lonely,although does sound like she has stalker tendancys.
meet up with her but be on your worst behaviour so she'll never want to do it again.

in the same way i don't like men coming on too strong, i don't like clingy friends... i likes me space, me.

therefore, i would be wary of her, especially as everyone knows that mobile phones keep a record of missed calls. if i phone someone and the don't answer, i won't harass them as i know they'll get a 'missed message' reminder and will call me back when they're free.

Maybe she is lonely an just wanted a chat with someone.
