its not all about telling a particular statement to those, whom you dislike. the answer is hard to define precisly. there is no gurantee that telling this will not sound rude or hurt or fight with him/her. because everybody reacts different to the same statement. What you can do is : let him/her know by your action rather than words => I didnt mean get the sword out : ) but be in the company of people whom you prefer infront of him/her. talk to the person you like to talk. always let them know about your fixed appointments (If they ask) If you avoid them by your action that will do. its not that you just stop talking to them, NO. thats not a really straight way solution, but gradually they will understand. because straightly telling NO is always rude and hurting somebody. it always takes some time to understand for others too.

I think the best way to do this is not to say that you dislike the person, but to tell them what offends you about their behavior. But even this is tough because you have to wait for the right moment to do this. And it may never come. I do agree with the above solution that actions can say a lot - avoiding the person may be the best solution - but sometimes people will not get the hint that you don't want to interact with them.

Text message works every time. choose your words wisely.

You can't. If you tell someone outright that you dislike them, it's rude, full stop. I can't imagine why you would feel the need to come right out and tell them in so many words. However, you can still get the message across without being rude; you just have to be a little indirect. If they want to spend time with you, you can have other things planned, other places to go instead. If that doesn't work, let them know that you don't think the 2 of you are compatible as friends; they should get the message and you haven't hit them with a sledge hammer to do it. If they still don't get it, tell them that you just don't enjoy spending time with them and have other friends whose company you prefer. There is no need for you to go into detail about why you don't want to be friendly with them. Just keep repeating your chosen phrase; if they try to pick a fight, just walk away. The fact that you are anticipating a fight makes me suspect that at least one of you is pretty young. Older people can handle the fact that not everyone in the world want to be their buddy; that's just the way the world works.
