    There is this girl at work who has been making it painfully obvious that she's interested, however I'm not interested in her.  (She is waaaay too clingy and she talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and talks and never shuts up.)

     

    So far I'm just acting as though I'm not seeing any of the "making of eyes", "any excuse to talk" or other general flirting. 

     

    Ladies, how do I make her stop without being mean?

    Get her alone, look her squarely in the face, and say, "I notice that you seem interested, but regretfully, I have a girlfriend, already."

    Sounds like she may be a little dense.  Ignoring her should work.  If not, you may have to just be blunt.  Maybe just stay too busy to talk to her?

    Why would you say "regretfully?"  That leaves an indication that he would be interested if he didn't have a girlfriend. 

    The kindest thing to say is simply "I'm not intersted in you," out of earshot of others.  That is honest, not condescending, and shows respect for her.

    Avoid her as much as possible. Giving her any attention at all will only encourage someone like that.

    Then, you could just tell her about the love of your life. I don't know, do you have one?

    ....or if you aren't really comfortable with the direct approach.....

    Why not hit her up for some 'advice' of which type of flowers a woman prefers for you GF....(or if you wanna be 'naughty' your many different GFs)

    This way she knows you are 'taken'

    Make sure to thank her for advice and how much you appreciate her being available, you feel like she is a trusted 'sister'.........

    No lady here but I'll give you my 2 cents.

    Tell her you don't like girls. That'll do it.

    I'm no lady but I'll comment anyway. First of all, I would never play where I work. Those parts of my life must be separate.

    If I want anyone out of my face I just start talking about things that interst me, like my bird, my home renovations, or my computers. It never takes more than 5 minutes for their eyes to glaze over and they'll do anything to escape. Do this a few times and she'll lose all interest. If she's still interested after that she's probably a psycho stalker, and you should be very, very afraid.

    Why would you say "regretfully?" 

    Because of this:

    Ladies, how do I make her stop without being mean?

    If he says "regretfully" with the right inflection, I guarantee you, she'll get it.

    You don't know a lot about women, do you?

    Finally-free makes a good point. Try telling her that you don't date people you work with. And being honest saying that she isn't your type could work too.

    [edit]Steps

    1. Think. You might intially think that the flirtatious behavior is flattering, but do you really want to pursue this? Most likely not!
    2. Act fast. As soon as the flirting behavior starts, make it stop. Doing nothing about the flirtatious behavior is like telling them you enjoy the extra attention. If nothing is done, the flirter will continue this sort of behavior.
    3. Diffuse the situation with humor. When you are with a group of co-workers, make a joke about the flirter's behavior. This not only tells other workers about your situation, but it will also embarrass your flirter. This light embarrassment will likely cause your flirter to stop.
    4. Be honest. Speak with your flirtatious co-worker face to face. Clearly state that you don't enjoy the attention and you wish for it to stop immediately.
    5. Complain. As a last resort only, speak with your immediate supervisor who will promptly deal with your complaint. Be sure to explain what has been happening and how it makes you feel uncomfortable. But remember this is a last resort, most of the time when someone flirts with you that means they like who you are. This is not as bad as it may seem.
    6. Move on. You may feel slightly awkward after the flirtatious co-worker has been spoken to by your supervisor, just try to move on and continue with your regular work routine. Things will begin to continue as normal.  http://www.wikihow.com/Cope-With-a-Flirtatious-Co-Worker

    Sometimes you have to be mean- some people just do not get it otherwise.

    True story:

    I had just gotten out of a relationship with a girl after being with her for four years.  I was a bit down and my mom suggested I try the local singles line to maybe find someone to hang out with, etc..  I relunctantly tried it and wound up connecting with some real needy, clingy girl.  Never met her face to face before but she seemed to be VERY interested in meeting with me.  She just seemed so off somehow and I knew that I would not even want to meet this chick at all, let alone date her.

    So I tried telling her how ugly I was.  I told her that my face was full of zits and I had these thick thick pop bottle like glasses, thinking it would turn her off.  Instead, she recommended I get some face cream and contacts.  Seriously, I tried ignoring her calls and this chick tried calling me between 10 to 20 times on the phone in one hour.  I had to do something.

    Since I never met her in person, I decided to go up the road to a pay phone.  I called her, put on my best gay sounding voice, and told her that my name was Michael and that I was Gary's gay lover.  I asked her why was she phoning my man and politely told her to stop calling him because I loved him and wanted to work things out with him.  Etc....

    This chick tried to befriend 'Michael.'  No lie.  She even asked if 'Michael' had the operation and I told her yes.  She asked Michael to explain what it was like.  Quoting from the talk shows of transexuals, I told her how I (Michael) had to take hormone pills and live life for a year as a woman.  This to ensure that I really wanted to go through with it.  Finally, I politely ended the conversation and wished her well.

    The phone calls from this chick ceased.

    You could tell her "loose lips sink ships"

    I would just tell her like it is, I am a women, no it does not make you "feel" good, but geez if shes secure enough, she will get over it.  If she does not, then she will just keep making a fool of herself, its really all on her.
