How do i tell her this nicely KEYWORD NICELY?

Question

Ok well my and my best friend have a goal.

We have a book, about 200 pages we plan on filling up at least 3 or 4 up by the time we die FULL OF QUOTES! Well today my and my friend were on the bus with 2 of our other friends going to an out of town volleyball game. We start saying quotes and tell our 2 friends all about our quote books. Well one of them named Brittany wants to do it. And its me and my bff(kayci) thing. We don't really want her to do it but we don't know how to tell her nicely that we don't want her to try and make a book. We are leaving for another game tuesday and we are bringing our quote books so we can share the quotes that i have and she doesn't and that she has and i don't. So what am i supposed to do. I think brittany is going to go and buy a book so tuesday when we are saying some of our quotes she can write them down. How do we tell her nicely that we don't want her to do it. And i know kayci doesn't want brittany to do it.

Answer 1

tell her to stay out of your gd buisness..

if you only knew me you would kno thats nice to me.

Answer 2

you can tell her that it makes you uncomfortable that she is writing down your quotes( even tho you don't own them) you can tell her that this was a thing that you and your other friend planned to do just the two of you.

keep in mind going forward your dreams and goals shouldnt be shared with everyone.. 1 reason is this now you feel the need to protect it 2 sometimes you'll have to defend your dream 3 folks will steal your dream and make it their own.

on the other hand this quote book may become old to her  pretty quickly and youll have nothing to worry about. who cares if she has one too.

Answer 3

by libby - i agree with her  



tell her that this is yours and kayci's thing, and that maybe you two can do something else together.

Answer 4

IF IT'S BB&MK THEN WHY CAN'T THE FOUR OF YOU DO IT? AND I DON'T REALLY THINK THERE IS A WAY, UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BECOME AKWARD BETWEEN YOU GUYS. AND SHE PROBABLY WON'T ASKED TO DO ANYTHING WITH YOU GUYS AGAIN LIKE IF YOU INVITE HER SOMEWHERE SHE WILL DECLINE IT THEN PRETTY SOON YOU GUYS JUST WON'T BE FRIENDS...OVER A STUPID QUOTE BOOK!

Answer 5

You don't have to tell her you don't want her to do it.  You and your friend should do it at a time when there is privacy.  There is no need to hurt her feelings....let her do what she wants, and you and your BFF can just "swap quotes" when she's not around!!  Good luck!!  

Answer 6

Just because she makes one doesn't mean that everyone is going to. Just let her make her own, she can do what she likes. It doesn't mean that your book loses any of its significance, just that she liked your idea. Like you said, other people have done the same thing and given up, so she might get bored with it.

Honestly it seems like you're making a big deal out of nothing, telling her not to make a book would just cause an unnecessary argument.  

Answer 7

um

tell her nicely that you just want it to be you and your friend. here say this

" hey, I'm sorry but me and Kayci wanted to do this by ourselves. i hope you don't mind but we wanted it to be something between us, as really good friends, do you understand? "  and maybe you can think of something special you two can do together.  

Answer 8

tell her that this is yours and kayci's thing, and that maybe you two can do something else together.

Answer 9

If the other girl wants to make her own quote book, i don't see why you'd have a problem... you might have started a trend.

We can't control what other people do.

Answer 10

There's really no nice way to tell her. It's going to hurt her feelings. Did you ever think that maybe she just wants to feel included? I think you should be a little more open minded. Maybe she can contribute some good quotes herself!
