<human>: So I met this girl through a social group that meets about a specific hobby that we both love. The more we talked, the more we realised we have in common. Fantastic, just what I want in a friend!

But the more we've hung out, the more she wants. She wants to meet a few times a week, and it's just too much for me. I'm very much an introvert and can't handle this constant communication.

I'm constantly having to say no or make excuses for why I don't want to meet up, and it's really exhausting to do this all the time. We do have fun, but the more she asks to hang out, the more I want to push her away.

I don't know how I can gently distance myself from her, without hurting her feelings. She really is lovely, and has a heart of gold, but she's like a puppy that needs constant attention and I don't have the energy for that.

Can you give me a shortened version of the text?
<bot>: New friend, a lot in common, but she's just too clingy. How can I distance myself without hurting her?
