NEIGHBOUR Q

HI All

I have a new neighbour.  She lives opposite me.  She has lived there a month.  So far she has knocked on my door 7 times and once on the back gate to the garden.  She wanted to ask when the council picked up the rubbish, then she wanted to borrow the bin we use to recycle garden waste which she kept for 2 weeks.  She also asked if i worked as she wanted me to wait in my house so I could collect a parcel for her as she needed to work.  She seems also very friendly toward my 4 year ol son.  Telling him that she is going on holiday and that she will bring him back a present.  She also brought him around vidoes to watch.  She also invited me to her house to look at some book of cakes she made and telling me how she is just divorced from  a man who beat her and drank a lot.  Now I am not a ubpleasent person but I wanted to know does anyone else think this is too soon to be telling me such things and to be too freindly.   I do like her I think but I am not sure.  What's you thoughts?

Thanks a lot Kastol

As everyone else has said - it sounds like she is lonely & maybe just trying a little too hard. Being out of an abusive relationship she may not have had many friends (quite often they push them away or are not ALLOWED to have friends) and is maybe just trying to make some new ones.

I also think she may be lonely,I only wish sometimes I could be that friendly and confident to go and introduce myself to my neighbour hood.It is always good to know your neighbours as you never know when you might run out of sugar  .Maybe take some time and get to know her better ,don't be too quick to judge as somebody else said she may become your new best friend.

I'll swap you neighbours.  I have neighbours who steal things from my line, destroy my daughter's outside equipment that can't be put inside, throw used needles into my yard meaning i have to a perimeter check every half hour and play loud music at night until i call the police enough times to get their stereo taken off them then they call family services on me sayin i'm an unfit mother because i took their stereo away so now they want me to lose my child. Of course i was questioned and her daycare centre was questioned and after telling them about the person who reported me she was then investigated and lost 3 of her children.  I wish we were friendly but that will never happen.

Hi there,I feel she is probably lonely and seeing as you must be an approachable person she has attached herself to you......Perhaps you could just wait a little before making a decision on backing off a little.You never know she could be the best friend you have ever had.Regards Crystal

She sounds like she is just being really friendly. Maybe she has decided she needs to get the abuse thing out of hiding as soon as possible as a hurdle to get over. You also sound like you could be the type of person that others are comfortable with telling their 'secrets'. She seems to be making a lot of effort to find friends. Be patient with her, and let her know if you need her to back off. Leisa

Hi there,

I'm with Mel on this one . . . She seems like a lonely person who is just wanting to be friends.

coming out of a relationship can be hard but its usually harder if its been an abusive one. Choose your words carefully and be patient . . .

Cheers Kellz

I think shes probably just being friendly. Keep an eye on her, but dont be rude. Shes just moved in, has probably been watching your family and decided you look like a nice person to become friends with.
It can be lonely coming out of a relationship (probably one in which she was isolated from all friends and family) with noone to talk to and be friends with.
If you like her, which you said you did, just be friendly back. Who knows you might have a life long mate there :)
