    right I've developed a bit of a problem with a girl online. shes basically in America and has been emailing me a bit too much, at first I didn't mind as a new friend is a new friend and I wa happy to talk to her but now its getting a bit insistant and we really dont have anything to talk about.
    like shes had a rough time of it l;ately with regards having problems where she had a kid with a mexican and then he bogged off back to mexico and she has to look after the kid by herself and has two jobs etc so I feel like a right **** if I don't reply.
    however this has started to annoy me as now shes commenting on my pictures things like 'you're so hot' and its making me a bit uncomfortable, like I'm grand if she wants to have a natter and whinge OCCASIONALLY but if she thinks this is gonna go somewhere or if shes expecting me to be this way back I'm not into it. but likewise don't want to just flat out tell her to bog off cos shes had a lousy time of it and is probably just looking for some fun.
    like its gotten to the point where people are asking me whats going on there, including a girl I actually like and that was kind of teh alst straw.
    I've done things like mention that I'm seeing someone (which worked for all of 2 days), say I wont be able to reply to anyone for a few weeks cos I'm too busy (which just resulted in 5 unrelied messages in two days)and then just flat out not replying but she keeps sending them.
    What should I do? any suggestions?

    Eh, why not just block the messages? You've no commitments to some random internet person who could be a total freak for all you know.

    Ignore her completely. Stop using that address if it's not an important one. She'll be off stalking someone else in a day.

    Talk about baby mama drama. She sounds desperate to find a man doesnt she?

    Honestly just block her. Mark the emails as spam; take her off your friends list; set new conditions for the type of people that can message you; etc.
