How do I go about handling this?

There's this girl, we'll call her C.
I'm not really friends with C, but knew her thru a friend from 7th grade. We never really talked but she sent me a message on myspace saying she heard about my cancer and wished me luck. She kept sending me comments saying 'we should really be friends' among other things.
Problem is, we don't have much in common.
I get this weird vibe from her, but I ignored it.

Yesterday, C messaged me on AIM. Here's the thing, I never gave her my screenname. It's only 3 days old, and I've only given it to 1 person, not C. The ONLY way she could've gotten it would be by snooping thru my comments and then into my friends comments.

I'm actually kinda angry because that is the only way she could've gotten it. I want to confront her about it, but I don't know a polite way to. (If there is one)
Anybody got ideas/suggestions?

PS - IDK if its important, but she's having medical problems right now. I'd hate to be mean to her.

IDK, maybe she just wanted someone else to talk to who had been going through the same kinda problems... to the point that she got snoopy?

As long as you're SURE it's her that's messaging her, I wouldn't be TOO mean. But you could just ask her how she got your screenname, conversationally. You know, like, "Hey, how did you get my screenname?"

But like in the middle of a conversation. Just kinda sneak it in there. Lol.

I agree.
She's probably pretty lonely if she was looking through your comments.
And if she took the step to IM you, she probably just wants a friend.
I'd just let it slide.
She probably just wants someone who knows what it's like to deal with medical problems, and figures you'd understand her.

I say just try to be as friendly as you can. She sounds sort of lonely and lost and maybe thinks that you would understand.

Honestly?
Let it slide and give her a chance.
If it doesn't work out, then...it just doesn't. No loss.

Keep us updated and good luck.
