How to tell someone, "No.": The Masterplan's current problem.

[The Masterplan]

The damnedest thing, I was finally happy about my victory for Cthulhu and the fact that I'm seeing 3 really kickass bands tomorrow [see: The Metal Thread] and someone had to be the killjoy. Well, two someones perse:

I was in Health class today and two girls [one in my class, one in the class below mine; let's call them Friend A and Friend B] came up to me today and asked if they could talk to me. Though I know them well enough, I figured something was awry when they wanted to pull me aside. There is this girl, for conversational purposes, let's call her: Girl A. I had seen this coming from a far, but the talk I had with these two girls solidified my worst of nightmares. Girl A, is really annoying, a major poser and [at least to me] not a bit attractive. She's going to the same show as I am tomorrow, which pisses me off for a few reasons: A) A few weeks ago, she had never even heard of them and now she acts like she's known about them since they started. B) She's bringing friends, who again, for conversational purposes will be renamed as such: Person I Hate A, Person I Hate B and "Ben's Girlfriend". She has liked me apparently for a long fucking time, which explains her sudden intrest in metal, attempts to force small talk about things I do not care about in the least and sit next to me if there is an open seat there. Ultimate example: She actually started a rumor that her and I went out, of course, it's a small school, so even though it got around fast, no one believed it, because I'm fairly popular and people know I would never do such a thing. That being said, I was originally having trouble securing a ride to the show and she offered and I politely declined, but she kept fucking talking to me about it and if I wasn't the nice guy I am, I would've flipped out.

Back to the main story: Friends A & B asked me if I liked Girl A, because all Girl A ever fucking talked about was me. Now, I told Friends A & B about how I had no interest whatsoever and how I wished she would stop making obvious attempts to talk to me. They explained to me that they tried to tell Girl A exactly what I said, because Friends A & B knew I felt that way before I said it. Friends A & B continued to say that even though they told Girl A that, Girl A didn't believe them. I told them that I appreciated what they tried to do, but they insisted I say something, because Friend A & B felt that if the same words came from my mouth she would quit.

Therein lies my problem. I think going up to someone who is under the impression that you have no idea that they practically fucking love you and telling them "I have no interest in you, please stop trying." is far beyond akward. So I guess I'm asking, knowing the situation, what do I say to Girl A? I'm not sure how to go about it without seeming like an asshole or making the person feel bad. I feel like since I'm so upset that she practically stalks me and whathaveyou that I might get pissed while I'm saying it. I have nothing against Girl A, she's just really annoying and needs to try elsewhere. I had talked to one of the only two people in my "section" of art class [also a girl] along with Friends A & B. I felt like I should be asking other girls, I don't know, it seemed appropriate. Anyway, I think it would be cold or impersonal to get the message across indirectly. [Have someone tell her for me/write an email/something with me not physically doing anything.] They said that I shouldn't do something like this, because it's not a good way to handle such a situation, I just really hate knowing how akward it's going to be if I actually tell Girl A what eveyone knows I feel.

Suggestions?

[Belial]

Mace.

[Alundra]

Well, seeing as I'm going to be there with you, how about we let me handle this situation if we see her?

[The Masterplan]

I think that might make it worse. Because if you do it, I'm gonna laugh my ass off cause you are the fucking man in general. Aside from that, I would not put it past her to search for me in the line and try to talk about how awesome the show's gonna be and shit. Then while this happens you'll run up really quick and scream "HE DOESN'T FUCKING LIKE YOU, GO HOME." and I will die from the hilarity.

But seriously: It would be even more akward cause I might see them before, during and after the show.

If this is as entertaining as he makes it sounds, I demand you guys post video.

Seriously, it will be awkward, but your choice appears to be doing something awkward to possibly get her to stop, or put up with her. Or get someone else to handle it in an entertaining and effective way

Believe me, I can make this comedy gold if the mood is striking me and I have a good audience.

[Tanni Foemangler]

it's not like you have to walk up to her and say "listen bitch, not interested" (though it would be the metal thing to do...). the nice-guyest thing you could do is tolerate her as long as you can and when she tries to talk to you slip in a little "yeeaaaahhh... i don't see us going anywhere"

she's going to feel bad no matter what, so don't sweat that too much

More true words never spoken.

The "GO HOME" thing is actually a joke. Alundra and I went to AnimeNEXT last year as we often do. We saw these emo/goth fags and I told Alundra to slow down [we were in his old car]. And as he did I started to roll down my window and screamed "GO HOME" at them. I wasn't sure why there were so many goth people there that day. They weren't cosplaying. I was just tired of seeing them. Alundra swears the one in the middle cried.

Holy shit, I lol'd hardcore at the "metal thing to do". This whole akwardness thing is inevitable though...I shouldn't do it when I see her at the show tomorrow, right? Seems to me that would be in bad taste.

[Harrison Ford]

Wear your Horde shirt while playing castlevania. That'll really get em.

[Tanni Foemangler]

^ they don't have NES' set up on the side stage at metal shows anymore :\

gotta do it sometime. if she approaches you at the show and your brain/balls (whichever you listen to more) are saying "now's the time, cut her loose man" go with it. but if Alundawg is going to raise hell and make a fool of her you might want to wait until he's not around

unless you're a 'fuck subtlety' kinda guy and don't mind breaking the FUCK out of hearts

man, this is awesome getting to give advice before the serious people show up and read you proper rules of conduct from their textbooks and ramble on about the psychological ramifications of your actions :headbang:

[The Masterplan]

For Chrissake my "Quick Reply" button isn't working, nor is my "quote" button.

Yeah, I feel you. Alundra's not gonna do anything stupid unless I ok it first, he's good like that. He doesn't know who he's looking for anyway >.> which may be for the better.

I was told I'm not the first, there were three people before me with Girl A, but that was a while ago and as I'm told, their cases were never this severe. Because of the situation and who it involves I guess I wouldn't mind "Breaking the fuck out of someone's heart". Though, I'll probably save it for Monday back in school.

I really don't want to see her or Persons I Hate A & B or "Ben's Girlfriend", cause even though I'll be seeing some of the most kickass bands I've seen in a long time, knowing their poser-asses are there will disturb me. Perhaps I can stage a coup with my fellow metal bretheren and arrange for them to unleash wolves into the moshpit and my enemies will hopefully be maimed/devoured in the process. You can only ask Odin for so much...

[Alundra]

So, after reading the following and I know this is totally out in left field, has nothing to do with anything found herin this thread:

Who is she?

I mean, no obvious attempts to preemptive the situation here, no, no.

[The Masterplan]

She is called "Girl A" for two reasons: 1st reason: It's easier to type than [her real name] 2. If you found out, you would laugh so hard and be so completely stupefied that brain matter would shoot out of your ears. No joke.

[Nega-Brent]

I suggest being metal about it.

:headbang:

Wel, we can either have this moment right now, or we can have it as I stand in line with you.

Your choice, choose WISELY.

[The Masterplan]

God dammit, why do you do this to me? I choose...in line....if they are not present. Many hilarious things will happen if I tell you in line and she's right there. But it should be obvious when we get there, they'll be the only people from MCA who aren't myself, Ben, Mike, Dimitri, etc.

[DreamerGirl]

Alright, not the most metal way to do it but here's an idea-

LIE. XD

Tell her you're interested in someone else, and you don't want her to get the idea that you two are an item, so you were wondering if she would step off a little.

If she starts bugging you about who, say you aren't having this conversation with her and walk away.

Hmm... It might be a bad idea, I dunno. You decide.

[Federal Network]

do it the metal way. Get out your battleaxe. *or sword. w/e* and go on a massive rampage and when finished. say she made you do it because she wouldn't leave you alone. and you must do it while blasting Manowar.

[Tanni Foemangler]

If she starts bugging you about who, say you aren't having this conversation with her and walk away.

if you do this one, be sure your face gets really red and your voice cracks like a sixth grader "going through changes"

oh, and trip over your own foot while you're stomping away, but recover quickly and slap some random person high five for wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt

[The Lone Magician]

You gots to do what you gots to do. And what you gots to do is to just tell her. While I have no experience in this personally and can't talk of how hard it might be, it's the logical thing to do. Just pull her aside and talk to her.

Yeah. If I did that all the other people of equal or greater metal fortitude would join me and we would slaughter all that is lame and not metal.

It's funny that you said that, because some of my friends suggested establishing an outlandish lie about me already having a girlfriend and all this other crazy shit or, as you said, tell her I'm interested in someone else. BUt the problem with that is, I have to make sure anyone she will talk to in order to confirm that is privy to the lie. I actually like this idea though.

lol.

[Siendra]

Just tell her.

"Hey, can we talk for a sec?"

"Listen... I've been getting this vibe from you recently, and I want to get it out in the open."

Go from there.

[Silver Cyclone]

I had a very very similar situation. Basically while at my friends 18th this girl we shall call her Darkon's bitch was all up in my space hugging me and shit. God one 3 way with her in the middle and she was all over me like semen on an asian girl's face so she takes one of my friends asides who I sorta had a crush on and tells her she is massively into me and ahs been for ages. So I am told this and I try so hard not to laugh because she knows I can not stand Darkon's bitch so how do I solve this problem. The girl I have a crush on was rather into me. I get with the girl I do this through the entirity of the night, we share a floor bed right next to each other and carry on while darkon's bitch sleeps a meter or so away from us. She pretty much got the idea I wasn;t interested. And hey hey look whos in a relationship.

Things worked out for the best.

This is an amazing sentence from an amazing post.
