Well, honestly I cannot tell if she is into him or just needy. She seems to have asked a lot of favors. I know from my own experiences that sometimes when people have a helpful friend they end up asking more things.

I also know from me personally that I like male friends and would talk to one about the same things I would a female friend like she is doing.

Interesting. I think because you are allowing it, she's continuing. Also because she's lonely. You gave her a opportunity and she's taking advantage.

It's Tuesday 9:15 am and she just texted me. Asking for city ph# to pick up old furniture.

For years I've been a responsive friendly neighbor. I would reply to her contacts. And she only asked for something every now and then. Now it's almost daily. I did not reply to her last four texts. You all say don't reply so that's what I'm going to do. If I see her I will tell her I saw it and then forgot about it because I'm on a big work project.

Some people have mental issues. She seem to exhibit it.

Why would she think you know that? She's holding the most powerful research tool in the world in her hand. She should just look it up herself. She can do that just as easily as you. She's finding excuses to contact you.

Her texting you at these times of day/night and the favors she's asking are far more than a casual/neighbor friend would.
She is either interested in you more intimately or using you as brother/friend.


Her husband or boyfriend may not be jealous at all because maybe he has another intimate partner.


Maybe they're in an arranged marriage. Are they Indian, Asian or Middle-eastern?


If he's the quiet passive-aggressive type, you could become a fatal victim of violence by communicating with women in a committed relationship that may be going bad. At least let her or current husband move out of the home. Not while they are together. You are taking a lot or risks for what reason, to be an overly friendly neighbor?

That's a whooooole lot of speculation.

Apparently, her boo is not handy, and she texts the OP instead of googling. It really could be that simple.

I think the OP (and many posters here) are reading WAAAAY more into it than is warranted.

Yep. Who doesn't know how to google for city info? Took me 10 seconds to find the number online. They have a PC (that I help set up) but they are very PC illiterate. They only reason they have a PC is to apply for jobs, which I also have to help them with as they struggle using email and passwords. He does though play online games. They don't have a printer and have asked me to print for them before (they reimburse me). They are both afraid of using the PC for any personal business, no banking, pics, docs, etc.

I thought they used google but now I'm not really sure. You know they might not even use google. I wouldn't be surprised. Butwhy not text her bf or get him to help or after work? I don't know if she has data on her phone. You see, now I have to find out. Do they use google at home? I want to ask her that. If she says yes then I will ask "did you know you can look up ph#'s really quick?" I can't wait to hear what she says.


They are not middle-eastern, he is not cheating on her. She is very outgoing, he is not.

They both sound oddly infantile in some ways.
