WWYD regarding acquaintance/friend/other

There is this girl - will call her Amy who brings her DD to a club I run. Amy was introduced to club via a friend I knew through nursery who is Amy's Cousin.

As with someone new she was welcomed into the club.

Now Amy is constantly emailing/texting/Facebooking me trying to be my best friend. I run this dance club from my home over the holidays and after parents leave it becomes my home again for me and my children.

After the last dance lesson it took me two hours to get Amy to leave my house. I dropped hints like 'oh are you leaving' and 'all set to go' and 'well see you at the next lesson'. She just didn't get the hint.

On another point Amy does not understand about people's personal space and invades like bull in a China shop and has offended 2 of the mothers at the club.

She has invited me to several events she is holding (DDs birthdays, jewellery party etc etc) I made non committal answers and she actually had the nerve to point out that my calendar was free on those dates - now if she pointed to August the month we are in I could understand - but she had flipped the paged to September!!!!

What am I going to do with this lady?

I'm afraid you will have to be firm and relatively blunt (but not impolite) to keep her at arms length. Don't be vague about anything.

Ask her directly to leave once the club is over.

She sounds lonely though.
