My cousin's female colleague often brings some snack or fruit to lunch. And she often approaches him to give him some. I told my cousin that I bet she likes you. But he doesn't really believe, so he wants to bet with me. Do you guys think I have the chance to win ?

Maybe shes just being polite. I normally offer around anything interesting I may have got..... on the other hand Why doesnt your cousin ask her out to a casual coffee - vereeee casual, if he doesnt want to be slapped with a harrasment suit
Yeah, I would say you have a decent chance

Nope. If he ain't buying his own stock, why would anyone else?

I am a female. Your chance to win is 50/50 depending on the character of that female co-worker. I like to share things with others. I have found lots of men tend to misinterpret my generosity and kindness. It is quite insulting.
I hope people could be nice to each other with a free spirit.

Its all down to the type of fruit and snacks she gives him. Melons and bananas? Your friend is "in there"! Peanuts and dried apricots? No chance.

Maybe your cousin needs to pay attention also to how his co-worker treats their other co-workers. Does she also share with others? Or is the cousin getting special treatment?

a friend of mine told me one of his female collegues lift skirt to him in a private occasion...
i think it all comes down to one thing: how do you file your income tax at the end of the year.
no, please do not get me wrong, the cost of the fruit is not deductable.

My cousin said she only gives it to him. That's why I want to bet.

I agree with John and Tony. I may be relatively closer to one or two guys. Yet, it does not mean I am attracted to them. I also like to show my support to someone who looks less privileged. I wonder if guys know how to be a good and decent friend.

Perhaps your cousin is really shy and withdrawn. Food can break the ice.

folks, I think I am right. Just talked to my cousin and he said they were going to watch a movie and have dinner together tomorrow. I am sure I will win the bet.
So, guys, don't overlook ladies' intension...
