There is a woman, JJ, I sometimes run into at Target or just on the street. Every time we run into each other I usually end up having to say, "got to go" several times while moving away from her. There have been times she followed me a couple of paces.
She was once kicked out of Target for 3 months yelling at the Starbuck's employee for not wanting to have conversation. Get this, she used to be a mental health worker.
So my neighbor recently told me about her run-in with JJ. She said how JJ just thinks I am the sweetest girl and that next time she sees me she will ask for my number.
So, how do I break it to her gently that I am not giving her my number? I think I am afraid that she will get upset. I might just runaway! She will probably get the message faster that way. J/K.
Really, I don't want to hurt her feelings but I don't want to be screening calls. Is "no" the best way? I guess I answered my own question.
You could tell her something like, 'don't take this the wrong way, but I don't give my phone number out to ANYone' and smile and say 'I'm sure you understand.'
Yep blunt but diplomatic is best. I have run into somewhat of the same problem before. It is a difficult situation to be in the best way I have found is to try your best to either outrun her or avoid her at all costs.
Sorry, I'm only kidding, but I would do what others here have said, by upfront and honest about everything, and if she's not very civil, tell her she needs to be that way, or you'll call the police on her.
I wonder if this should be in the relationships forums.

That sounds like a good way to handle it. I would try that first if it were me. If that doesn't work then you can try more drastic measures like completely avoiding them or calling the cops if necessary if they continue to harrass you.
Sounds good. Lets hope I sound confident, if not, I am running.

You have to admit, that would probably stop most people!
