So personally I believe it is okay, as long as you both consent and are above the age, Sure many may have a hard time excepting it, but some will no matter who you date, so... and I mean it isn’t against the law as you are not blood.

to your question, I believe it's ok for them to date since like my situation, they are not (totally not) related. As well as both of them love each other, I don't see the reason why stopping them.
It will get tricky though if they get married :O

Step Uncle seems ok...step dad...raises eyebrows...what if all are under the same roof? Dang...where do the lines get fuzzy? I'm in love with my step daughter...my blood line has nothing to do with hers. I simply love her...but somehow that's more wrong that step uncle!?! My blood brother could theoretically be with her! I'm sorry...why would that be different?

reader, anonymous, writes (18 April 2008): There is nothing wrong with her dating her step uncle. Since they are not related by blood, it is not incest. People seem to get nervous or to not approve of step-relatives dating because it the step-relative often fulfills the role of a real blood relative. But that doesn't make it incest any more than thinking about a fictious story makes the story true.
Does your friend seem to enjoy dating her step-uncle? How big of an age difference is there between them? And do you know if they are having sex with each other?

 A step-uncle would be... your step-mother or step-father's brother rite?
In which case... it could be difficult because if things work out between them, she'll be dating her step-parents sibling.
I'm not sure it is such a good idea morally. Nothing wrong with it genetically. Not sure her parents will see it as okay.
Unless i've got the definition of 'step-uncle' wrong... but it's a hard concept to understand lol. think this is right though.
Anyway, i suggest saying your concerns. just tell her you're a bit worried, make sure she knows you support her relationship tho - and be there if it all goes good or if it all goes bad. people have to make their own mistakes. and as friends we have to be there to pick up the pieces or help hold things together whenever we can.

You tell your friend to get in there and enjoy herself if that's what she wants to do!
Brothers and sisters, nephews and aunts, uncles and nieces, mothers and sons. fathers and daughters all a big no no.
Step uncles and step nieces - no problem.

well moraly people might say its wrong however if there both happy and not related in any way by blood then its their choice no one elses however this sort of thing can cause family disputes and should be handled with care and consideration.
