I have a really strange neighbor. She’s unamicably divorced with two kids and really overfamiliar. Told me recently that she got a Brazilian wax for the first time, which I gather is potentially flirting with me but also quite forward and strange (although she is objectively a MILF).

I’m renting a townhouse and am pretty hands-off with the front yard because a.) I’m busy and b.) I have no idea how to garden.

There’s a few rose bushes along our shared fence line, and they started to get really out of hand and would cut me when I try to get into the door. So I bought some random garden implement from the hardware store and “pruned them” (idk the correct way to do it but the bush is smaller than before so job done).

So I got home from work and neighbor was standing by the fence doing her yard work, and told me with a big smile that she pruned my rose bushes for me.

I’m like… thank you… Then later that night I realized… why the fuck am I thanking her for pruning the rose bushes that I fucking pruned? Why is she gaslighting me?

Open to theories.

Edit: Ok y’all have convinced me to shoot my shot and ask her out. If it backfires I’m gonna kill each and every one of you
