<human>: A new woman, Tina, just started working at the grocery store where I work. This is kind of an uncomfortable situation, because Tina seems to have a bit of developmental delay. She's a capable worker but I don't think she takes social cues excessively well, which is what makes this hard. That, along with the fact that we work together, is why I want to be delicate in the way I handle this situation.

She seems to have taken an interest in me, which I noticed when she asked for my phone number and facebook name. She is very sweet, but I'm not interested because I don't feel a connection to her, we barely know each other. But she messages me all the time. She will send multiple messages in a row without waiting for a reply, so sometimes I'll get off a shift and see several messages from her. She often asks me how my day was, tells me I'm special to her, that she's glad she met me and that she feels lucky to have me in her life. When I don't reply, she looks at me at work, and sometimes asks me if I'm stressed or haven't had time to check my phone lately. Other times, she'll post public statuses that say something like "So glad to have met my new good friend Mike, you rock."

I just don't know how to handle the situation without making her feel really bad. She seems really latched onto the idea that we either are or could be a couple even though I don't know her at all and haven't expressed any interest in her. I'd be totally fine with cultivating a work-appropriate friendship, but like I said I'm not interested in dating or anything like that. What should I do?

Provide a brief overview of the text.
<bot>: My very sweet developmentally delayed coworker is interested in me, and I want to let her know I'm not intersted without being harsh or making things awkward.
