IMPY03 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 1 year and 3 months, I'm the older one. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 What does the friend think? Quote
IMPY03 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 What does the friend think? The friend doesn't know anything yet...hence thats why I posted this thread ;D Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 What does the friend think? IMO, this is all that really matters. If you're just looking for a play thing to help pass time,...then pass this one up. If you really like her, approach him and tell him how you feel. Respect goes a long way. Trust me, it's worth more than you think, take it from a guy who sacrificed some recently. Quote
Super User KU_Bassmaster. Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 Well one of my best friends married one of my other best friend's sister. Me personally ... I would stay away from it if this was truly one of my best friends Quote
farmpond1 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Is it morally wrong? No. Is it smart? No, unless you don't care whether you see your friend anymore should the relationship go sour. It's kind've like dating a coworker. If things go badly, you still have to work with or interract with that person (or her brother). But if you can't bear to be apart, so be it. Quote

Trust me, it's worth more than you think, take it from a guy who sacrificed some recently. Yeah I was thinking about talking to him about it sometime soon and getting his reaction and another thing is that she is really his half sister so its a little different but still a little weird. It seems like a bad idea but somethings may be worth the chance so I still dont know what I'm going to do. Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 Seems like me and LBH are on the same page here, its all about respect. If you like her, talk to your friend and be honest. If he shows any concern at all, back off. You will find treating people with respect will get you a long way in life. Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 I say go for it you only live once Quote
Super User Muddy Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 Hey I grew up in a real tight neighborhood, almost everyone married their best friends siblings MOST OF THOSE MARRIGES SURVIVED, some 40 years later. If you became friendly with her, and like Russ , said this is not just passin time, I would talk with your friend and go for it. Friends make for great relationships. Try to get EXPERIENCE from some of the older fellas here. The younger ones are still at the sticking gum in the girls hair stage and don't have a clue Quote
Super User BrianinMD Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 "Try to get EXPERIENCE from some of the older fellas here.

Oddly this is one of the times I hope to be on the "older fellas" group..... Quote
Pitchinkid Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 first of all i'm going to need some pictures of said girl. But this actually happened to my friend this year. One guy married his best friends sister. Things didn't work out and there was an ugly divorce. Some things were said between the two and they no longer talk. I'm sure your not thinking of marrying the girl yet, but things do change when this sort of thing happens. On the other hand, if shes hot enough, you can always find another friend. lol j/k Bros before gardening utensils Quote
Super User flechero Posted December 22, 2008 Super User Posted December 22, 2008 From your picture, you look young.... I would say that if you are not yet ready to get married, stay away from her. Your friend will be there long after your next girlfriend is gone... if your next girlfriend is his sister, it's very possible that when it ends with her it ends with him. I never had a friend worth losing. So I never tried to date any of my friend's sisters. Quote

Trust me, it's worth more than you think, take it from a guy who sacrificed some recently. He hit it right on top the head, ask you bud what he thinks! If you ask me, he'll get more ticked if he finds out on his own, and less, if at all, if you tell him! Quote
Daniel A. Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 My best friend from high school knocked up my sister (yeah, I know, she had something to do with it, too). I don't speak to him anymore. Don't do it if you're passing time. Quote
Red Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 i say go for it if you really like her, but it might be a good idea to talk to your friend about it. i dont know about dating the friends sister, but i do know that dating your friends girlfriend is not recommended, especially if you want to keep the friend!! ;D Quote
IMPY03 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 lol thanks for all the responses guys. Thats what I like about Bass Resource, no matter what the question is, someone always has input and its really helpful....even if it is a bunch of old farts! kidding of course! Quote
fish-fighting-illini Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Normaly I'd say go for it with a few qualifiers. With it being the sister of a friend you should be extra cautious on how you handle things. Only date her if you act like a very mature young man and handle yourself with class at all times. Same for the other way around; is she mature enough to handle a breakup? If the answer is no then forget it. This way nobody gets hurt when it goes south as most do. Many people can be good friends after a breakup but often they cannot. Note: I said normaly... Things in print don't always convey the authors feelings but as your first 2 words say I'M Bored I'd say this is a bad idea at this stage in your life. Just my .02 FFI Quote

IMPY03 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Posted December 22, 2008 as your first 2 words say I'M Bored I'd say this is a bad idea at this stage in your life. Just my .02 FFI I meant that I was bored at work, not that I was bored in general but I know what your saying. Quote
mattm Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Its really all about what your friend thinks. If you move forward you better be ready to treat someone better than you ever have or risk losing a friend. If he is a true friend, regardless of what happens, as long as you treat her with respect there should be no issues. Take it from someone that has 1/2 brothers and sisters there is no difference. You also need to read and re-read Flech's post. He makes a lot of good points. Quote
daviscw Posted December 23, 2008 Posted December 23, 2008 If any of my friends ever hinted about going out with my sister they would get a fist to the face. Also keep in mind, a breakup with her could lead to an ended friendship with him too. Quote
