Hamlet isn't present when Polonius tells her this. So how and when does he come to know it? Is it during the scene Ophelia describes to Polonius in 2,1? Ophelia doesn't tell her father that she had time to communicate anything to Hamlet when he "comes before" her. It is clear that Ophelia is holding something back from the story she tells her father, but it does not seem that this is it. Maybe it is in scene 3,1 when Ophelia returns the things (whatever they may be) that she has "longed long to redliver". Apparently it has been some time between 1,3 when Polonius tells Ophelia to lay off Hamlet and 3,1 since it has been "many a day" since they have spoken and she has "longed long" to deliver the mysterious love-tokens (although she may be implying that she had lost interest in him long before the events in 1,3).

In any case, Hamlet does not seem to react at all to the fact that Ophelia has been avoiding him of late. He is possibly unaware of it. The romantic relationship between Ophelia and Hamlet is uppermost in Ophelia's mind, but Hamlet has other things to think about. He only seems to focus on her when he realizes that she has allowed herself to be a lure in Claudius's trap for him.

He's upset, and disappointed that it wasn't Claudius he'd killed. He had nothing but contempt for Polonius, though, so he doesn't grieve too badly. He soon puts him out of his mind so he can go back to yelling at his mother.

How do you get rid of boys?

There will always be boys around but if you are not interested simply tell them that you are not - be up front, honest, polite but firm. And don't let them get to you if they are bothering you as that is what they want is a reaction from you - just ignore them or avoid them when possible and they will get the message. When they become bored and realize they are not bothering you anymore they will leave you alone as it isn't fun for them anymore.
