Friend won’t stop messaging me even though I don’t respond
I have a friend who I made a year ago through a mutual, though I wouldnt consider us close at all — we’ve gone out for lunch a couple times and she’ll respond to my story occassionally. However, recently she asked if she could come with me and my friends to a concert together and she now seems to think we’re best friends.
She now keeps sending me messages every day and reels on insta saying things like “could be us! omg can this be us?” and asking if we can match outfits next time and just acting SO overly close that it’s freaking me out. I’m uncomfortable with her behaviour due to some other things that have happened that I won’t delve into here, but I really don’t wish to be friends with her anymore.
I’ve literally ignored all her messages for a week now and she keeps messaging me random things, has asked me if I want to hang out like three times, and I really just want to ghost her at this point because she’s not getting the hint.. I don’t want to continue a friendship with this person so I don’t want to make any excuses or give her false hope, but at the same time I’m really conflict averse so I’m not sure if I should send a message before I ghost.. I was hoping she would get the idea from my lack of replies so I could just fade out of her life but she just wont stop.
