What should I do about new friends who constantly invite themselves over?

My boyfriend and I ran into an old friend of his about a month ago and have since hung out with him and his girlfriend a few times. On Monday we all went to a local bar and the girlfriend kept saying how we should all hang out more often. My boyfriend and I agreed, out of politeness mostly. While we were leaving the bar his friend said we should get together again soon to which his girlfriend piped up "oh, we need some where to hang out tomorrow! We could come to y'alls place!" (referring to mine and my boyfriend's apartment). We simply shrugged it off and tried to make the best of it when they came over last night. Unfortunately, last night I noticed just how immature and annoying the girlfriend is. She does mean well, I honestly know that, but there's just something about her that drove me and my boyfriend up the wall. At the end of the night as they were leaving she said "ok, we'll come over again Monday!". I asked my boyfriend if he'd invited them over and he said he hadn't.
What should I do about new friends who constantly invite themselves over?
Break the appointment on Monday. The next time she tries it tell her you'll let her know when you will be free. Also, hopefully, she will get the hint if you keep breaking the appointments. If all else fails just tell her. Honesty is the best policy. Good luck, I know how you feel.
Reply:you have got a problem, but I suggest to reciprocate, I mean invite yourself over to their place, with your BF and 6 Dogs (rent some if you don't have any).


Of course there is a danger that the next time they come over they'll bring their pet elephant with them, and you know how big is an elephant's poop on your carpet.
Reply:Just tell them, that you should make it an occasional thing but not all the time because you have busy lifes.


Or say you should just catch up at the bar next time. But I would go with the top one. They should get the hint.
Reply:with people who invite them selves next time say oh lets go to your house for a change. and you have to confront them by saying i really like you but we cant always hang out with each other
Reply:Just tell them;i.e. her; that they are welcome when you and your boyfriend don't have anything else planned, but not to come over without calling first. If that won't work, just tell them it was nice knowing you, but no call, no visit. If they or she cannot act like a normal responsible adult, then they; read she; can forget it. Find new friends. If you give in once, you will end up ruining not only your lives but theirs as well, because they have gotten used to their lifestyle of ingratiating themselves on others and when you tell them no, they will tell all of their other 'so called' friends that you and your boyfriend are unsociable. Live with your decision and move on. They don't want to move on, which is why they are doing their we will move in soon thing. In my opinion and from my past experience.
Reply:Tell them, when they invite themselves over that you are busy, sorry...avoid these people and maybe they will take a hint...
Reply:These are "friends from hell." Your bf should tell his friend that you and your bf can't have them over on weekdays because you need time to rest and relax for work the next day. As for weekends, you would rather hang out outside of your house ie pubs, bars etc. If they don't get it, you need to tell the gf straight in her face you don't want to hang out with her anymore.
Reply:when shes due to come round shut all your curtains, lock your doors and hide upstairs in a room upstairs so shell think uurRee not in and when she fones you put your fone 2 silent then answer it go in your bathroom shut the door (bathrooms have thick doors so she wnt heaR) then say oh sorry im at the supermarket i completely forgot sorry


then say you're bf is ill so youre shopping 4 him


*hopefullyx*+** she'll go away nd leve u alone gd kl xxxxxx
Reply:When they said they were coming over Monday, you should have said, "I'm sorry, we'd love to have you, but unfortunately we have some personal things going on that we can't get into and will not be available then. Let's talk next week and we can set something up. Cheers!"
Reply:Maybe on Monday, if they decide to come over say "Oh my god, I didn't remember setting up a date with you guys...did I say seven? Because I have an appointment to go to..." (A lot of doctors have a "late night") or maybe just say "Me and John were just on our way out! I'm so sorry!"
Reply:I would tell them that you are busy and have many priorities to juggle, so you can't commit to a meeting now. If they show up unannounced, I have no problem issuing my regrets and closing the door.
Reply:well what i do is hide under the duvet and not answer the door!they will soon get fed up of calling over,oh and change your phone number,theres nothing worst than people coming over and you cant get rid of them!!!!!!!as for moving into your apartment block im afraid your going to drop the friendship or just meet them out in town or something NO going back to houses,just say your busy if none of this works i would move!!
Reply:You can just say that you guys are busy on Monday or that you're usually too tired or frazzled after work and wouldn't be much fun to be around.
Reply:OMG,You poor thing! I don't know what to say to you except ,you have to speak up now before its too late or forever hold your peace!!!!!!
