How do you get someone to stop texting you?
Would you give a total stranger you meet on the street your telephone number because you do not want to be rude?This is the same situation you have here.You screwed up big time by giving your number to a guy simply because he added you as a friend though he had a gal. If you did not know that he had a gal,then that is the more reason not to give him personal information since it means you do not know him enough. You have to understand now ,at this late hour ,that nobody can force you to be or remain their friend if you do not want to or are not interested or change your mind after beginning a friendship with them. Simply tell him to stop texting you anymore as your boyfriend does not like it. Ask him to please respect your decision as you will not change your mind and do not want to hurt your guy or lose him. If he does not stop ,then tell him that if he does not cease,you will be forced to take a more drastic step like reporting him to the legal authorities. Do this only if he does not stop and if you truly want him not to text you anymore. You now have the choice of not been rude and remain upset or say something and get rid of your problem. The choice is now yours to make.
How do you make someone stop texting you?
If this person has become your bitter enemy or you just do not like them because they do not have any redeeming quality, then politely text them, “Please don’t be offended but I feel our relationship has come to pass and we should not be contacting each other anymore.” If you’re not the confrontational type, block the person’s number eventhough the text will come through and just ignore it until the person stops texting you since you don’t reply.Before you commit to either option, please consider this very carefully:Relationships can change and will do so. This person in question that you don’t want to text with anymore can become your best friend in the future or at least someone who may help you with something in the future. Ask yourself, is it really worth it to burn your bridges now and affect future relationships/friendships? If its worth it to you, wait it out by ignoring that person’s text and hope the person moves on after not getting any replies from you. In any situation where if your relationship with that person changes for the better, you can always blame faulty service or phone but DO NOT READ THOSE TEXTS in the meantime because that person may be able to tell if you had read them or not by tracking apps or softwares on their phone. Just be careful and aware of that possibility. If you’re going to ignore a text, don’t read it just in case or you will be caught in a lie.
How can I get someone to stop texting me? They are forcing the conversation too much and they won't take a hint. It's complicated though because I still have to be able to talk to them in real life.
this is a tricky and delicate situation that I totally understand. Because ghosting is out of the question, I usually try partial ghosting. Each day they text you take longer and longer to answer, and eventually they'll stop constantly trying to text you as they know it's not a dependable way to reach you on a phone. Whenever talking in person though try to maintain interest in ther life, but making it clear that you often don't have your phone on you, like leaving it at home or mentioning that you always leave it lying around or not having your ringer on so they don't suspect you're ignoring them and instead believe that you don't have a large reliance or connection with your phone so to avoid offending anyone. Also you can suggest that if the situation is dire, they could email you, a much less instant respond system, especially if said person is a work related friend. By technologically distancing yourself, they should realize that it's your phone you don't have a strong relationship with, not them, and by slowly lengthening your response times each day this will both make them think that you're simply busy and loosing interest in technology and they will realize that text isn't a good way to connect so they will be become discouraged and more available to talk in person which you made clear your life requires.To sum it up,-slowly delay response to texts-be social in person-make it obvious that you don't often have your phone with youpartial ghosting or technological ghosting is the best way to go, they don't become offended and you et your spar. I did this was a friend in high school who would constantly text me yet I had a large number of classes with her. When you do text them, make them meaningful and explain to them that texting for you is not a day long process, but only used for meaningful and important convos if there is no other form of communication.Beat at of luck!’

How to get someone to STOP texting you.?
I have a friend, He's VERY annoying but i'm nice to him because really no one likes him, Well he's been texting me NON STOP. If i don't answer he'll text me 5 more times, then call me a few times, then text me asking why i wont answer the phone, then he'll call again. It's so annoying! I don't want to just be rude and tell him to stop texting because hes annoying, He also reminds me like every 5 minutes that he's "In love" with me and that he Likes me a lot, I don't like him like that and he knows but he still wont leave me alone, I've tried almost everything, I'm really boring when he texts me like All i'll say is "Ok , Oh , K ," and he still wont leave me alone, I don't want to be rude but it's beyond annoying me.. Do you have any ideas on how to get him to leave me alone, Without being rude. (Even though i really want to right now.)
Is it harassing if someone won't stop texting me?
Yes and it can be big trouble. Do not ignore this trouble sign.Please understand this simple idea: people who can not control themselves and have no boundaries can become a real threat to your life. This not an exaggeration. They are never going to be a good choice for a mate and/or a relationship. You neither want or need them in your life, that kind of controlling personality will always cause real problems. You must remove them from your life as soon as possible.Start by changing your number and don’t give it out to friends, block caller ID and do not answer blocked calls or his/her number; have some else in an other language leave a generic voice mail message ( it really effective) , If that doesn’t work more extreme steps need to be taken like moving, changing job, leaving the area and changing your name. If it is a legal matter hire a lawyer. Don’t try and handle it yourself. But start now to get rid of this guy/girl. Changing your number and avoiding him/her is a great start.

I have a pen-pal that lives in North Carolina. She is getting to be a pain in the a**! She won't stop texting me! I took a 2 hour nap and when I woke up had, 47 missed text and 7 missed calls form her. I always have to make up a story about ignoring her. It is really pi**ing me off. She has panic attacks so I don't want to be rude but I really can't take it anymore. I have things to do but she will not stop. She will flood my e-mails, calls, texts, and facebook messaging. I CAN NOT be rude in anyway but I want to somehow get her to stop. Today I told her I would talk to her around 1, we have a small time difference so the whole time she was asking me, "my 1 or your 1" And i am going to rip my hair out. PLEASE HELP!
How to get someone to stop texting you without being rude?
So a few weeks ago this guy from my class started texting me out of nowhere. I've never even had a conversation with him outside of that one class but he was acting like we were best friends. He's actually very nice but sometimes he takes it too far. For example, the other day he asked me how I slept. I know he's just being nice but that sounds like something my dad would say. Texting him is awkward because I feel like he is too serious for me. I want to stop because I don't want to lead him on (my friends think he likes me) and I'm getting annoyed but how do I do that without being rude? When I ignore his texts he just keeps sending things like "hey" "are you there?" and I dont know what to do. I dont want to hurt his feelings either... Help??!
