CakeBeret:
There is a person, Kate, who is pursuing a friendship with me, and I do not want to be friends. At all. I do not want to burn any bridges if at all possible, but I don't want to be associated with her. I think she is a really awful person, although I won't say that to her, of course.

I defriended her on Facebook today, and she will probably text me to ask why. What explanation can I give that's neutral and polite, without giving away my feelings?

Fleur-de-Lis:
Are there categorical differences you can point to? (You like soccer, she likes photography; you like (activity); she likes (unrelated activity).

If so, you can say, "I want to focus on (your activity) and I find that's absorbing all of my time at present."

No, not really. We have kids near each others' ages and some similar interests.

Actually she may not notice you un-friended her.

Slartibartfast:
No need to reply to her text unless you want to - just ignore it.  Chances are, it will blow over with no problem.
