On average he's at our house 3 times a week since we've broken up for the summer. But my sister and this guy are not even dating, they live in different villages so he has to get the bus.Is this normal behaviour of friends (I don't have many friends)? Reply to this Question

 Maybe your sister has better friends than you if her friends take the time to come visit her?

Yes i am closer to my male mates more than my girls, and one of my mates lives two bus journies away from me and i come visit him a lot, maybe they are really close, and if he is having family problems maybe she is helping him out? as me and one of my old mates use to be together every single day unless there was family stuff...So be happy for your sister for having a friend she is so close to...

 Maybe this boy is going through a bad time with his family and is looking for an escape hatch to your house. It is nice that your sister can be friends with him as he maybe a little lonely if he is making that much effort. Maybe he really likes her in a romantic way too and is just too shy to do anything about it. Maybe this is annoying to you because you have less friends than her - it can be easy to be critical of their friendship when you are feeling lonely yourself. Instead of thinking of his occupation in your house as being a problem, perhaps it would be better to try to befriend the guy yourself a little bit...you may even like him! I don't think there is anything wrong with him being in your house a lot as long as your sister doesn't have a problem with it and your parent(s).
