my stepmother worked with a guy for a year.(he's 19 she is 36)he's also my cousins boyfriend. my stepmother and this guy get on incredibly well when he visits they constantly keep poking and prodding eachother, giggling and laughing with eachother. he only lives across the road and when they meet on the street they stand chatting for hours . He calls into her workplace 4 or 5 times a day on the days she is working and they seem to go out of there way to chat to one another. This makes my dad quite angry and jealous as there together 16years and have 4 children but she claims there just friends. i think they are attracted to eachother, what do you think?

No they cannot.All women think that they have guy friends.You know,the guy who is always there for you and picks up the pieces when your heart has been broken.He wants you ladies,you just don't pick up on it because he's a wuss.You think he's just a great guy.(For somebody else!)You want the bad boy,the one that is unpredictable and exciting.You like the way he makes you feel;confused,sexy,and more than a little intrigued.Like maybe you're a little dangerous yourself. It works the same in reverse if it's a girl/guy thing.We want the one that is going to excite us the most.
If men are together talking with other men,there are "usually" only three types of ladies.
1.Those we've slept with.
2.Those we haven't slept with "yet".
3.And those that are soooo ugly,we would only sleep with them if we thought nobody would find out.
Other men may deny it because it's not PC or they are gay.But I swear it's true,that's pretty much how we talk about it amongst ourselves when you're not around.

Yes, I have had some close relationships through my life and it ended because the relationship ran its course and when I meet up with them we can have fun, which has happened when I went home on holidays. I met an old flame and his girlfriend and we had a great time together and I met a wonderful friend, his girlfriend, we have alot in common and that doesn't mean him. If a relationship ends its because there was nothing else at that time and people need to grow. Your Dad feels threatened and a little insecure, understandably.

Anyone who talks to someone 4-5 times a day each day, is either best friends or lovers. What does your cousin think? I wouldn't want some other woman calling my boyfriend all the time everyday, even if she was my step aunt. But the final decision has to come by your father. If he doesnt think anything is going on, then you have to believe her. However, you could always spy on them, since they live so close :) Good luck.

I always had more male friends, than women, but this sounds a little more in depth than just friends. After 16 years of marriage, it may boost her moral to have attention from another male. Her husband needs to take her out and maybe send her some flowers, maybe after 4 children they are in need of a second honeymoon.

Come on, they are more then just friends. This situation is just not normal. Your dad and mom need to figure out what is driving her want that type of friendship, before it's too late. Women might think that they are being friends, but guys have a one track mind.

At one point in time I had thought so. Boy was I WRONG!!!!! As I have grown up and matured, I have found that in more than one way there are ALWAYS sexual undertones. It goes both ways. Even though I hate to admit this, it has been proven time and time again! We think at first it is a harmless thing, but what you have described is disaster waiting to happen if it hasn't already.

I believe that they can just be really good friends.
Some people just seem to 'click' automatically and find that they have a lot in common.
Relationships don't always have to have any sexual connotations.
Many people assume that members of the opposite sex cannot have purely platonic relationships, where they just enjoy each others company, sense of humour and same out-look on life.
There are plenty of innocent relationships out there.

Yes they can. But, friends don't behave with each other the way these two are behaving. And, they may be behaving, but there is something more developing there beyond the friendship. Right now it is definitely a sexual infatuation. Someday it will go too far.

Sounds like an attraction to me (both sides). Perhaps your dad doesn't give the attention to your mom like he used to? The 'guy' needs to back down if he knows what's good for him.
Good luck with this.

of course they can just be friends.. but ALOT of the time one or the other has a different motive even if the relationship doesnt go in that direction
