Steer the discussion to her boyfriend. She if she tries to steer it away, or finds negative things rather than positive things to say.

This, you could also just let her call go to voicemail and decide if you want to respond. If her boyfriend gets jealous of her attention towards you, he isn’t going to care who pursued who.

To me I think she is a bit bored, and is seeking some drama. She might be open to a closer friendship. But you are wise to ignore the overtures.

Others recommend a slow fade, and I agree. You can reply at your convenience to simple texts that don’t involve her personal affairs. You can ignore her personal affairs altogether.

Ask her to remove you from group texts. There is no reason to be getting those.

If she does not remove you, then I think you are justified in blocking her altogether.

Definitely get off the group texts if they aren't of interest to you.

I think all this should be a big red flag to you, unless she is someone who is really someone you want as a friend in your life. If that is the case, then you should be including her partner as part of the equation. I had a great male friend who was my work partner and we had a great connection and were so on the same wavelength. We loved to laugh, and he was a fun and very interesting type guy, who I'd been acquainted with for many years. I knew his wife slightly (she worked at the same company, but different dept) and we would meet up with the wife for lunch. We ended up being couples friends, me and my husband and the two of them, and really forged a fun and lasting friendship, even camping and traveling together, but without including the spouses at some point, we would not have been comfortable together as opposite gender friends. It's disrespectful to the spouse.

I had a neighbor like that many years ago. She was totally hot which made it a very awkward thing. I had a GF at the time and she lived with her BF. Nothing happened but I got the distinct feeling something could have.

Why would it be awkward? Are you suggesting you can't control yourself when presented with hotness?

It kinda makes logical sense to me that if she enjoyed chatting with you on the walks that, when you stop walking and chatting with her, she'd pick another way to chat with you. That's how friendship/acquaintance-ship work, yeah?

Unless she is texting 10 times a day (not in one conversation) or saying inappropriate things, what's the big deal? Also, as long as her partner knows about you -- have you ever met or been friendly with him? But really, people are allowed to have friends. I'm not one of those odd people who think you can never be friendly with the opposite sex.

The OP has indicated nothing inappropriate at all.
