wwsnd?

[Deleted]

My friends gf (soon to be fi) works at a certain retail establishment in seattle, let's say it rhymes with boardstrom.

She works at a location about 50 minutes from my house. I don't have a specific sales person any more since my person left for corportate. I have spent a lot less on clothing since my person left 6 months go, wait in fact I haven't bought anything for myself since the end of nov. Anyway, said friends gf (who I've seen maybe a dozen times in my life and had maybe 4 conversations with) keeps imming and emailing me to make an appointment with her to buy stuff from her (so she makes commisson off me.)

I've tried explaining that I'm not shopping right now because we're in the process of saving for a new house and we just just paid for a big trip. She doesn't get the hint and won't let up. Its making me really uncomfortable, but I don't want to make things super weird.

Wwsnd?

do you like her and your friend a lot? if not, after a very clear request of not needing an assistant, i'd reply back with "who is your manager?" you don't have to "report" her or anything, just scare her.

if you *do* like her, i'd just start ignoring her. she obviously doesn't get the hint.

I mean how serious is the hint? I've usually found "we're getting married/trying to buy a house/I just bought a car, so I'm really trying to keep those kinds of expenses down for a while" to end the conversation quick.

Can you tell her something more basic that you've already stopped spending money on so that buying lots of new clothes would seem crazier?

I like the friend enough to not rock the boat. I was neutral about her before this, but now I don't really like her.

I've blantly said, I'm not shopping now because x, y and z. And her reply was "that's a long time. Yor h won't know if you buy something small."

[jennlin]

yeah, at this point i would just start ignoring her.

Ok, I wasn't sure if that was super rude to ignore her. Thanks!

Ahhhh.... I missed you guys so much!

"it's not about H, I don't know but the idea of spending $X00 when we're going to write a check for $X0,000 seems nuts to me. Sorry."

And if that doesn't work, then ...

I would ignore but also tell the friend (that she's attached to) that she's making you uncomfortable and maybe he can tell her to lay off.

What's her name? I'm sure my DH can screw with her benefits. LOL

If she keeps going I just might take you up on that offer

I'd just ignore her. She sounds like one that won't ever get the hint.

This is probably what I would do.

[sarack]
