Plus: I like this girl a lot, but she’s going to be my stepsister.
We hit it off during our conversations, and he seemed like a great match — respectful, attentive and genuinely interested. However, things took an unexpected turn when I coincidentally bumped into him at a coffee shop in a city neither of us lives in.I approached them, said hi and noticed that he seemed uncomfortable and stiff. He said they were having coffee and catching up.
As someone who’s never been in a relationship before, I’m wondering if it’s even worth replying or if I should just let it go and move on?Listen to him. Find out what is going on in his life. What was his relationship with his ex? How long was it? When did it end? Why was he with her when you saw them? What are his intentions with her? What are his intentions with you?
Listen to what he says and observe what he does to see if he is looking for the same things you want. You have to be clear about what you want in order to recognize whether he matches your desires.I’m 18, and my family moved into a new neighborhood about two years ago. Since then, I’ve developed romantic feelings for my soon-to-be stepsister. She’s also 18, the daughter of our neighbor; my father, who is divorced, has been dating her mother, who’s a widow.
I can’t help but feel disappointed about my father and her mother dating. Is there a way to get rid of these unwanted feelings? I’d like to avoid ugly situations and discomfort.Express how unfortunate you feel the situation is, since both of you fell for the women in that family. Tell your father your intention to keep it platonic but also how hard you think it is going to be to manage your feelings, especially if you all start living under one roof.
