DEAR ABBY: I have a female friend, "Kylene," who needs yard work done weekly. My fiance, "Josh," goes over there to do the work for her. He charges $60. During the last two weeks, she has been popping up at our home uninvited. Kylene knows Josh's work schedule and makes sure she sees him daily at the neighborhood bar around 4 in the afternoon. The other day, I went to the bar with Josh, and lo and behold, she was there waiting for him. I was pretty upset, because I don't see my Josh very much due to his tight work schedule.

Do you think she is stalking my fiance? Kylene hardly talks to me when we are all together. She talks mostly to Josh. I have always believed that you don't mix business with pleasure. I think she's stalking him. Kylene doesn't have any friends, and I think she's jealous of me. What do you think? -- SUSPICIOUS IN INDIANA

DEAR SUSPICIOUS: I think that rather than stalking Josh, Kylene is "chasing" him. How does Josh feel about it? Is he flattered? Is he attracted to her? Have you discussed the fact that her dropping by your home unannounced is inappropriate? I agree that your "friend" may be jealous of you, but the person who should put a stop to what has been going on is Josh, not you.
