I have been attracted to my best friend's sister for quite some time now. I am 19, she's 18, my friend is 20.

I want to ask her out, but I don't know how my friend would react. What should I do? I really like her.

Little_Laura agony auntI would say that first you need to ask your friend about it. Sometimes older brothers can be very protective. If he says ok, then go for it but if he says no, its prob for a good reason. Talk to each other about it and make sure he understands how you feel.

sm0ke agony auntTalk to your friend.

Tell him you have feelings for his sister and want to ask her out, see how he feels about that.

Ive had friends ask my sister out, and i believe she has her own mind and can make her own decisions so i wouldnt have had a problem had she said yes (which she didnt)

It may be that your friend has to take a little time to get used to the situation but he really shouldnt have a problem with you dating his sister.

Talk it over, but not in a way thats going to blow your chances if you do finally ask her out

I am the same person who asked the question.

I am thinking of speaking to my friend first. Is that the right thing to do?

I watched a friend of mine ask his best friend( it was a guy)'s siter out and he didnt care- only becasue he wasnt that close to his sister.. but comming from the sister perspective she thought it was weird as she was older and saw him as just one of her younger brothers friends and said no although they talk alot on the phone. you could try it- i would either reccommend talking to the friend first or just going for the sister. either way you can get opinions ( as you have to go through two people for the relationship to work)

To solve this dilema i belive that you should decide if your friendship is more important than asking this friends sister out but you have to remember that the answer could be no especially as there is also the family issue for her to consider if she was to decide to date you. also there is the age difference it is not alot but that may concern her. nomatter what you decide be careful because you may end up losing your pride and friendship or end up losing out. hope this helped xxxx
