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.



Right. The walks started a friendship. She called a 2nd time later today. That call was about a neighbor, her house, her bf's mom, just about every current detail in her life, etc etc. Then she texted me after that with an update on the neighbor. I don't reply to her texts. I answer her calls to be a friendly neighbor. She makes friends with anyone who will listen to her talk. He bf is the opposite and likes to stay to himself. He knows this about her. I just started to make friends with another lady on a nearby street I know from the hoa.

OP, I think you are flattered by the attention.

I'd still like more info about the zipper. Did she want you to fix the zipper while she was wearing the pants?

It sounds like she’s an extrovert and her boyfriend is an introvert. It doesn’t mean you have to answer all her texts or calls, or if you do answer her texts, you can answer them slowly.

She is a friend who wants more, but you want less. You just need to moderate the contact. I bet she’d bring you chicken soup if you were sick, but you don’t want a blow by blow of her life, or to know the business of all your neighbors, then just don’t answer the phone or texts unless you want to.

It sounds like you're okay with this and unwilling to change your behavior to stop it - so what is this thread really about?

He wants to know if we think the neighbor wants him.

Sounds to me like she wants you as a replacement for current partner.
