Sister and Best Friend

Who's been in this situation before?


Title pretty self explanatory.
Nobody has fessed up yet, but I think my sister and my best friend might have just started dating.

I wouldn't mind, other than the fact I know things about my best friend that my sister doesn't, or might 'brush off'.

I'm not one to talk bad about a good friend of mine just to get the outcome I would rather see, but I don't see this going anywhere good. I think he has intentions that she doesn't.




If I'm so inclined to bring it up, should I talk to my sister or best friend?
Or both?

no good. give them shit. he's not your best friend if he's dating your sister and hasn't told you. thats a major guy rule no no..

in retrospect, you can't really controll it though.

No problem. Just might be a little weird when he comes over to not hang out with you. Or when he comes out after sleeping with her and chills with you. But not too much you can do about it. Especially that their age

Sucks but you gotta deal with it. Chances are he will ditch you for her and when she is done with him you will have your friend back.

A positive is that you know she isn't out fucking random guys either.

i'd say talk to the friend, he's probably the one who asked her out.
and if you think he has different intentions than your sister does, i'd say that's something right there that you need to talk about
if he is really your best friend, he should want to talk to you about this and straighten everything out before proceeding, if not, then i guess he wasn't your best friend

Remember in Scarface when Manny started having relations with Gina, what did Tony do?? He shot the mofo!!

If any of my best friends would've even considered dating my sister there would be a definite ass beating in their near future, especially if they were trying to hide it from me. I'm not saying get all Tony Montana on his ass but let it be known that it bothers you by confronting them about it. If they both respect you enough than maybe this relationship will never come to fruition.

Wait a minute I have a question, how old is your sister and your bff?

in all seriousness thats ground for punching your "best friend" in the face. especially if hes not going to treat your sister right. do not try and spare anyones feelings here, confront this situation before it gets worse.

...and the attraction is probably based on how "taboo" that relationship would be, which is even more twisted for you to think about. handle this.

He just IM'd about everything.

What a stand up guy.
They're not dating, but they both have 'feelings' for each other. He sure as hell knows though that I'm not cool for one second with the prospect of them dating. Once he knew my reaction, the conversation didn't last much longer.

My sister is a strong pro-abstinence person. I not worried about that.

But if that did happen, you can be sure that I would raise hell to say the least.

Cause I can see him pushing her limits. Yes, she's strong in her ideals, but if no one ever strayed from their ideals, the US wouldn't be in over ten trillion dollars of debt either.

Catch my drift?

Ahh. Yeah. First, hard for me to relate because I don't have a sister, but I can try to imagine. I have a few close friends that I wouldn't mind with because I know they are good people, etc. Other close friends I'd be pissed at because I know how they treat girls, etc.

I have a sister. And I don't have the strong feelings some of you guys are talking about.

The way I see it, every girl out there is a sister of somebody (assuming they have siblings). My sister's dating life isn't my concern, even if it is a friend of mine. Everybody has "baggage." You just happen to know about your friend's.

My sister has a mind of her own, I can only provide an advice. It ends there.

I think you are a little bit concerned that you may lose a best friend...since now he will spent his time with your sister. So no more buddy stuff. And you are mayl be disgusted that someone you know will eventually will be boinking your sister.

When you will get older..you'll understand that it is best to let people learn from their mistakes and experiences. This has NOTHING to do with you, unless your best friend is a total douche..and you know about it, then you are obligated to tell your sister. Family ALWAYS comes first.

I think you should talk to her about it sooner than later. Just to confirm it. And make sure she realizes that you are not taking sides. He is still your friend. If they fight over some stupid shit, then you have nothing to do with it. But to be honest, I would not do much more than that.

I would have initially been a bit pissed if one of my friends dated my sister. But I would have realized that if they are good enough to be my friend, and my sister was going to date someone anyways, then why not be someone I approve of.

Unless the guy is a complete dick, you should probably mind your business, she is gonna do what she wants anyway. If she is pro-abstinence and your friend knows that, he might really like her to still want to date her.

talk to them about it.

as a friend, best friend more or less, he should have talked to you about it first. at least, i think so.

doesn't seem like you're upset about it so let them know that.

Fo sho...
I was in this situation a few times.
General rule of thumb for me was I let her tell me when she needed me to step in.

She dated one of my friends and he was sneaky about it. Later in life we ended up not being friends for other reasons but basically he was a lying snake type of person.

She dated another one of my close friends and it was all good. Up front and cool with me. People are people no matter what, they can't help attraction. As long as there's respect.

That said,
I do have some friends that I would straight up tell her about (players or dogs) and then let her make her own decision.

Hmmm...kinda awkward. Just imagine your friend telling another friend how he "banging her last night" and you should overhear. Yikes!

hopefully he's not that type of friend. I wouldn't be thrilled about one of those dating my sister.

See, I think some people think that just because he is a friend, that's why I don't think it's best for her.

Her last boyfriend (which she was with for over 3 1/2 years) I was really good friends with as well. He's a great guy and never treat her less than a princess.

I think the guy in involved with the situation now would treat her really well too, but I have a feeling it would be just in attempt to get in her pants and then leave her later. Not cool.

I'm just protective of my sister. We're tight.
