Tell them..dont be afraid.

I will be leaving now..

Not too many people hear hints about this. There is no sweet way to do it. If you really want someone out of your life, just tell them you do not want to see them or talk to them or get emails or texts from them. Be clear and firm. Do understand that this will likely be hurtful, so do not overdo the meanness. They may ask why. One all-purpose answer is that your life would be less difficult that way..

Otherwise, you could walk away when you see them, not take their phone calls, unfriend on FB, and change your phone numbers. That, however, is confusing and upsetting and they might not get it. For a long time. So you are back to choice #1.

The best way is to be direct, just tell them you aren't interested then block them or delete them...whatever you have to do

some will not take no for an answer

I think you just have to tell them straight so there is no confusion and so they know exactly where they stand. Sometimes you've got to be cruel to be kind.

just be direct.. Get the f**K out of my life . sometimes people or slow or hard headed .. be direct .. and there is no doubt... if they still will not leave report them as a stalker .

Tell them straight up. Then cut off all communication to them.

say that exactly to your face
