Or you could make her feel really uncomfortable.

Just tell her politely, but firmly, to stop it. If she continues to... erm... continue then you can use... erm... I don't know, you tried the polite way, so use the non-polite way... Rolling Eyes

I had one of these, but my method of getting rid of her was so manipulative im expecting karma in a very large dose... believe me im getting it.

Ok, i had a person who attatched herself to me, she would invite herself to my house for the night and follow me everywhere, get upset if i didnt meet her between classes... it was pretty chronic, and she used to grab my hand as well... but she was in the middle of making a strong decision whether to live with her mum who she was ignored by, or go back to live with her dad in another state. She already wanted to go to her dad...

i just... encouraged her...

and voila!

leach exterminated.

but seriously, since yours doesnt seem to have a monumentous decision ahead that doesnt really help...

If she doesnt have many mates and you dont mind the karma you ll get from it. Then hurt her.

If not then break it to her gently. Tell her to start off with, things like im sorry, but i really dont like it when you touch my head, its really patronising, and then increase these sort of telling off's and shell start to get angry with the relationship, introduce her to another person with no friends and keep giving her things to bitch about... so she forms a connection with the other person... then organise a date out with other mates that didnt invite her, make sure she knows about it... that sort of stuff

Shaye, it sounds like she is really lonely.

It sounds like she is a very touchy person, but... I think she has been hurt, by friends in the past probably, and now that she "has" you, she is wanting to cling to you.

I know this sounds bad, but perhaps it is up to you to say something to her, because that will also help her with her future relationships and stuff.

Just tell her that she is crowding you a little, that you are not used to it, and it makes you feel uncomfortable... That you are not a touchy person, and that you feel like you are being smothered, that you need air. Just tell her that you need to be alone sometimes, and you need to be able to move without having to worry about tripping over someone who is attached to your arm...

Ok, well, say that, not exactly as I said it of course. But just... Ok, it sounds like she is really lonely, and lost, and all of that. But she won't know that she is bothering you if you don't tell her!

Some people are like that, some people are clingy, and huggy, and others aren't, thats just the way it is. And for a clingy person to have someone they can cling to... Well they just don't think that someone might feel differently about it... Obviously she has had people turn away from her in the past, and probably for the same reason, and she doesn't know why it is, and it gets to her more and more, and she just gets more clingy because she doesn't want anyone else to leave...

Just be honest, but if you say it in the right way, she may be able to try and fix it, and if you tell her that you are willing to work through it with her, then you guys may end up the best of friends, without her feeling the need to cling...

Ok, see if you can get what I am saying in there, cause I am half watching a movie, and am not sure what I repeated and such... lol.

Good Luck!
