How To Do Stuff? Part One- Need to Get Rid of a Cyber Creeper?

My first part in my little series "How To Do Stuff?"
So like every other ffteen year-old girl in America, I have a Facebook.
What's Facebook you may ask?
Facebook is a social networking site where people can keep in touch with famliy, co-workers, friends, etc.
It's also the number one site for all of those narcissistic people to upload two hundred pitures of themselves a day!
Anywho, because Facebook lets you get in touch with anyone that has one, anybody can add you.
So one day, I'm on Facebook, and I notice that I have a friend request.
I read the name and I recognized that it was an old friend of mine from elementary school that moved away.
So I accepted the request.
Moments later, I heard the chat "ping" sound.
It's from my little elementary friend. 
Let's call him Joe.
Joe says hi, asks how I'm doing, and all of that kind of stuff.
So I be friendly and answer all of the questions, tell him about Jersey.
Then the convo dies down and I log off.
For the next two weeks, I hear the chat "ping" noise again and again.
Guess what? It's from the SAME person.
This time, he tries talking to me via espanol.
I maybe bilingual, but I do not fluently speak Spanish.
I tell him that, and instead of not talking in Spanish, he talks in Spanish WITH translations.
I told him that I don't take Spanish, so I tell him I take Russian.
Now he wants to learn Russian.
So the next time he chatted me, I just ignored it and acted like I didnt hear the "ping" noise. 
This is KEY to getting rid of the creeper.
I mean, I don't want to be mean and I'm a genuinely nice person but,
I.CANNOT.STAND.CREEPERS.
I don't like the idea of someone constantly chatting with me whom I don't really know and don't really talk to.
I also don't like people getting into my life, asking about EVERYTHING, when I don't talk to them.
Because boy, if I tell you about my personal life, I have a lot of trust in you.
So anyway, in order to get rid of a creeper,
be polite,
be kind,
play dumb,
and don't get so into the conversation.
'Nuff Said.
