My response to this is mixed, since I have been on both sides of the fences.
One perspective is that your acquantance may not realize (seriously, it happens) that he is following you around, or at least to the extent that he actually is. Also, as an acquantance, he may just actually want to develop a stronger platonic relationship with you by hanging out and spending time together at parties. It is also possible that he does not realize that you are trying to flirt with the particular female (what may look like flirting to you may seem like casual small talk to him, and vice versa).
On the other hand, I know it can really be frustrating when the friend is there (especially when the follower is one of her female friends). I often feel more comfortable talking with the ladies if I'm the only male there (sounds a bit selfish, yes) or if it is only you and the female.
(On another note: I am not sure if the thread title alludes to either that you want to rid the pestering acquantance because you want to quickly get intimate with the female; or if you would just like to have a more serious conversation and some flirting with her.)
catcha on the flipside,
will.
