I've told her that I'm not interested in getting back together with her. She keeps calling me on my work phone, and I've told her not to because I am very busy. She still calls and tries to keep me on the phone as long as possible. I'll tell her I have to go and she just keeps on talking as if I didn't say it. Then I just hang up on her and she calls back. I have looked online to see if I can get a restraining order, but it seems that you have to be threatened or, at the very least, feel threatened.

I think you're just going to have to hang up on her, especially if she's disrupting you at work. You may feel bad about this or like you're being rude, but it's time to take back your life. Hopefully she'll take the hint and stop calling.

Dinner at my house was interrupted every evening by people that we'd asked never to call - the usual suspects: cults, dodgy charities etc. So one day I decided to give them what they wanted - a conversation!
The first caller said, "hi this is Debbie..." and before she could go on I jumped in with, "h-e-l-l-o Deb-bie. And what are you wearing this evening?" That was the last call we ever got from Debbie and her group.
For the Salvation Army caller, I quickly applied to join and immediately went into how joining a world famous killing machine had always been my dream... that was the last time they ever called my neighborhood.
For your predicament sir I'd say try a little psychology too. For instance the moment you know it's her, hand the phone to a collegue that just starts a never-ending conversation with her. If she is not quite sane that'll definitely put "cured" on her card.
The best cure for insanity is another dose of it but in reverse.
But remember that you don't want her hurting herself - even if you no longer care for her. Best of luck mate.

Tell her that your going to call the police and charge her with harrassment. Try call block, but I'm not sure if you have that at work. Hang up on her and don't ever pick up the phone for her again. If she calls and you don't have caller ID at work, just hang up when you hear her voice. If you keep ignoring her, maybe she'll finally take the hint.

You could try some reverse psychology and call her work and do the same thing to her. Try to get her in trouble by stopping by at her work and bugging her there.
Call her every five minutes and get very clingy. You'll have to deal with her more than you want, but it will be just as annoying to her eventually.
People tend to want what they can't have...
If you don't want that much contact, tell her you have joined a cult and she can be the first sacrifice..

I have been harassed by former employees, my husband's ex-wife (they were actually divorced before we even met) I followed the zero tolerance rule. After the very first encounter, I called the police and made a formal complaint to which they followed up with a home visit, suggesting they do not try to contact me whatsoever. Any further communications with me will not be tolerated. Haven't heard anything after john-law visits.

Don't give her an inch, she'll take a mile. Just keep on hanging up on her.....don't talk to her at all. She'll get the picture sooner or later. If you talk, then it shows her she may have a chance. Don't communciate with her at all, don't go for sex or nothing like that. I know what you're going through, I've had a fatal attraction before myself.

Just use her as a bootie call.
Oh and MY REAL ANSWER......police are taking phone and email threats ALOT more seriously these days. We have a good friend who has been a sheriff for about 17 years and he is floored by the amount of calls he has to respond to concerning this subject. They need documentation.......it is threatening to be STALKED and you are being stalked.
good luck.

Where is she calling from? Get your boss to call her and tell her to stop. Put someone on the phone with authority. Don't answer if you think its her. Don't talk to her outside of work. If nothing else you can get her for harassment at work. Look into that.
Good luck

Taker her to bed and afterwards block her phone number. If she calls you from a pay phone or some of her friends' then grow used to answering only those calls from people you do know well.

Change you phone number. Some girls after been left they start harassing, that happened to my husband before we got married with me, his ex used to call and harass him and me. That was like a night mare. So we had to change numbers, but still that did not do it, so we had to move to Florida.
Good Luck

Seems to me that she has fallen very deeply in love with you and even though you have broke it off she seems to still want to hang on. Break it off completely and when she calls if you can just tell them on your job to tell them you dont work there anymore.
